Sustainability Journey Here at Abacus Creative Resources, we are at the beginning of our sustainability journey and are continuing to increase our efforts towards effective corporate social responsibility and environmental commitment. We love learning about how the suppliers we choose also share our goal towards sustainability. As a result, we are proud to stock a range of products made in the UK, and have a selection of products that are aligned with our sustainability journey.

Some changes we have made towards a more sustainable future include partnering with DPD for our delivery solutions, who’s aim is to be the most sustainable delivery company in the UK with electric vehicles and extensive green initiatives. To compliment this, our packaging of choice is Renpak Green Line packing paper, 100% biodegradable and recyclable! In addition, we are pleased to support UK woodland creation and peatland restoration projects through our trusted partners Forest Carbon. In recognition of our carbon impact, we are also dedicated to offsetting our footprint through various international projects.

Charitable Support We have partnered with Lancashire Mind as our chosen charity. From sponsored walks to the Manchester 10k we have raised both vital funds and awareness. Lancashire Mind is a local, independent mental health charity fuelled by a passionate belief that enabling people to achieve mental wellbeing will reduce the number of people who go on to develop a mental health condition and, for those who do to have a better chance of remaining well.

Account Manager We have a dedicated customer service team, and this is where Lyndon comes in!

Lyndon is the independent school account manager and provides a first class customer service experience. Here’s what Lyndon has to say: “I love developing personal relationships with customers so I can understand their individual needs better and provide solutions. Meeting with customers face to face is one of the ways I do this and not only is it helpful to put a face to a name but it’s very enlightening visiting departments so I can understand better the whole process and see where it all happens so I can provide more assistance.

What gives me the most pleasure is to know that we as a company are helping art departments run more smoothly, and helping towards getting the best possible results for the students by offering great communication and next day delivery services”.
