Every month we like to set aside some time to connect outside of working hours with an evening full of board games at our HQ. This month the team brought in crowd pleasers like Pandemic: Fall of Rome, Coup and Fool to battle it out for the ultimate win and a month's worth of bragging rights. 🎲 🎲
Four months ago, we called on all Beatles fans to dig out their own personal photos of the Fab Four. The goal was to raise money for Nordoff Robbins, the largest independent Music Therapy charity in the UK, by assembling all of these unseen pictures into a stunning photo book, with anecdotes by Barry Miles, Sir Paul McCartney’s official biographer. You all certainly showed out! Fans across the universe came together, and in less than six weeks, submitted over 1000 images. We can’t thank you enough for all the photos we received. This beautiful coffee table book features over 250 photographs of The Beatles and narrates, through the eyes of their fans, the incredible story of the Fab Four, from the Cavern Club in Liverpool to the height of Beatlemania. It also shows a side of the band that no professional photo gives justice to, the friends and musicians behind the godlike superstars.

We believe it's important to celebrate the achievements of women past and present. For International Women's Day, we championed women by promoting balance. Hosting a series of workshops, videos and open dialogues, we asked our employees to commit to a more gender balanced world. Check out the photos section for more pics.

As part of the Photobox Group, we have recently introduced our new philosophy on Diversity & Inclusion! We are lucky to say that for a group of businesses built around personalisation, we’re a very diverse bunch. Together with our sister brands Moonpig, Hofmann España, posterXXL GmbH and Greetz, we have employees from over 51 nationalities, we’re proudly based in five countries and our customers come to us from all backgrounds and walks of life. That’s a really good thing! But we’re still eager to do even more to ensure #PhotoboxGroup is a place where everyone can turn up to work as their authentic self, being valued for their unique contributions to our family. This is why we are rolling out a number of initiatives to attract, recruit and progress the best talent, we're launching a women in leadership programme and we continue to develop our culture to be more inclusive and work to raise everyone’s awareness. #DiversityAndInclusion
