As academics and researchers, we’re very good at reading and writing walls of text. Of course, it makes sense, as they’re the modus operandi of sharing our research that we learned during our PhDs and the traditional currency of success and progression in academia. However, there are better ways!

We are proud finalists of two family business awards! Buttercrumble beat strong competition with a record number of 186 businesses entering the Yorkshire and Humberside Family Business Awards from across the region.

Deciding whether to build your website on Squarespace or Shopify can feel like choosing between Diet Coke or Coke Zero. Fundamentally they are different, but no ones entirely sure why or how… (it’s the taste, apparently). Crucially, they are both fantastic tools for building websites, both offer: easy-to-use templates, different plans tailored to your needs, and a platform to share content and sell your products.

Brands must take a committed and authentic pledge to understanding and implementing diversity. The decision to be more diverse should be seen as an opportunity to improve and grow on a personal, organisational and creative level! What’s not to like?

Here’s a behind the scenes look at our recent Take a Seat! project, featuring a video of the process. We painted the bench for weeks, so we could fully immerse ourselves in the East Leeds community. We painted on-site and were able to converse with a range of different people. It was a lovely experience to have following months of isolation.

London. It's not just the capital of the UK. It’s the creative and cultural Capital, recognised globally.

Therefore, we could not pass on a trip to see Buttercrumble’s design concept exhibited at Somerset House for the London Design Biennale. We had to see the show with our own eyes and acknowledge the exciting range of creativity on display.
