Win SIX British Designed & Made Mugs from Churchill for Christmas
IT is with GREAT pride and please that I announce this giveaway, and also to tell you that I will be working with Churchill in the New Year, a British pottery situated in the heart of the Potteries region in Stoke-on-Trent. I am a BIG supporter of ALL things British as my readers will know, so I am delighted to be working with one of the BEST of British china companies, Churchill, as well as offering all my readers this AMAZING opportunity to win SIX of their beautiful mugs from the Blue Story Range.
Churchill was established in 1795 in the heart of the world famous potteries, Stoke-on-Trent. Made up of several smaller family run companies ‘Churchill’ was adopted in 1984 as a name for the whole group. The company came into the ownership of the Roper family, who remain significant shareholders, in 1928. It has a long history of providing ceramics to both the hospitality and retail markets and has evolved over the years into a profitable and well respected company within the industry.
The company has steadily expanded and developed since then and is now a publicly listed company (1994) serving a wide range of markets on a global scale. Built on strong family values, Churchill has a heritage that can be accredited to the passion of those involved and the skill and experience learnt over time. Churchill prides itself on being forward thinking, innovative and as well as having a strong manufacturing capability in the UK it has also excelled in sourcing, supply and logistics to meet market needs.
Being able to offer exciting brands has been key to Churchill’s success and it is proud of the relationships it has with some of the most exciting opportunities available, most recently Jamie Oliver but also Disney, Cath Kidston and the RHS.

I always say coffee tastes better in a nice cup
Hot chocolate – lots of different varieties that I have in a box from Twinings!
