Building today for a better tomorrow.

Our Friday was spent supporting groundwater management initiatives with the programme alongside the Ouse and Adur River Trust.

It was a rewarding day contributing to projects that benefit our local environment, and a meaningful and productive way to spend a Friday. Great job

We believe business can be a force for good.

By getting 1% for the Planet certified, we’re part of a global movement driving meaningful change for our planet.

1% for the Planet is a global network that connects businesses with trusted environmental nonprofits, encouraging companies to commit at least 1% of their annual revenue to supporting solutions for the planet.

It’s about turning good intentions into measurable impact, funding vital work in climate action, biodiversity, clean water, and environmental justice.

For businesses, getting involved is more than a sustainability badge; it’s a credible commitment that builds trust with customers, motivates teams, strengthens brand purpose, and contributes to long-term positive change.

1% for the Planet offers a practical and powerful way to be part of the solution, which is why the Select First team (Tom Bourne, Myles Hazebroek, Toby Kent and Nicola K.) are proud to be involved.

Kick-starting the trade show season, a visit to the Surface Design Show gave the team valuable insight into the latest innovations within the surfacing sector.

Sustainability remains at the top of the agenda, with materials created from waste, discussions on circularity and conversation-starting designs from Green Grads.

We think one of the panellists in the Partners in Circularity discussions summed it up perfectly.

"Waste is only waste if it's wasted."

Proud to see us get some recognition in the latest issue of The Stocklists for our commitment to honest, transparent marketing and standing against greenwashing. 🌱

In a time when sustainability claims are under more scrutiny than ever, we believe it's essential to back up messages with integrity and substance. It's not just about saying the right things – it's about doing the right things.

Thank you to The Stocklists for highlighting this important aspect of our approach. Together, we can raise the standard for ethical communication in our industry.

Early start this morning as we headed to Telford for The Bed Show.

As the leading event showcasing a diverse range of UK and Irish bed manufacturers and component suppliers, The Bed Show brings together exhibitors from major market brands to specialised niche players. Recently, it was recognised as the 'Best Furniture Trade Show' at the Big Furniture Awards and named 'Best Furniture Exhibition' at the Interiors Monthly Awards.

The show provided a great opportunity to connect with familiar faces and engage with our media contacts in the furniture and bed industry.

Since September, we've been offering B2B PR support to Hypnos Beds, one of the leading bed brands in the UK. A few weeks on, the show proved the perfect opportunity to visit the busy stand and join their 120-year celebration of crafting exceptional sleeping solutions for customers across the globe.
