Description Who We Are:
Established in 2012, from very humble beginnings! Operating out of a garage, a single mum of 4 (Becks) created a collaboration with 2 dutch investors, and pursued her passion and expertise to design, develop, and deliver creative products for the Arts & Craft industry. One of the very first major projects was turning around within 6 months, an incredible range of Kirsty Allsopp kits for Hobbycraft.
Fast forward... (and nothing is that straight forward or smooth sailing... especially with Covid and other challenged!) and A2V stands at the forefront of product design and retail innovation. We pride ourselves on transforming creative visions into tangible, high-quality products that resonate with consumers. Our expertise spans from concept to creation, offering a full suite of services that include bespoke product design, market insights, and trend forecasting.
What We Do:
We specialise in creating made-to-order product ranges across various categories, providing a one-stop solution for retail buyers. Our approach is unique – we blend meticulous craftsmanship with robust data insights, ensuring our creations are not only visually stunning but also commercially viable. From seasonal promotions to year-round essentials, our products are crafted to tell a compelling story in every retail space.
Our Mission:
A2V is fuelled by a passion for creativity and excellence. We are driven by a desire to fill the creative voids in the retail landscape, ensuring every product we create is purposeful, sustainable, and of the highest quality. Our core values – care in every aspect, resourcefulness, and collaborative challenge – are the pillars that underpin our approach to every project.
