How did you keep your kids amused during lockdown? Our customer KeepEmQuiet had the answer. KeepEmQuiet specialises in providing entertainment packs crammed full of exciting surprises for children to discover and to keep them amused on flights. Surely lockdown and no flights would be a disaster. Absolutely not Daniel and his team adapted and viewed lockdown as one long flight and made it their mission to KeepEmQuiet at home during lockdown and entertained. Supported by CDL at our Woolwich warehouse KeepEmQuiet sent out thousands of packs to keep our little ones entertained and away from those screens! KeepEmQuiet and CDL stand ready to do the same for this Xmas and in to 2021 when hopefully we can all fly away to the beach!

We are using alternative toilet roll more and more! This tough economic climate has been no match for Fairway and one of its biggest growing clients Who gives a crap. In a time where preserving the environment is paramount, it seems many have taken Who gives a crap close to their bum, by opting to use their 100% recycled toilet roll. This festive addition would make a great gift for Christmas and is a unique way of ‘giving something back’ by helping to support their continued charity work.
