Newsletter November 2025

Welcome to November!

Isn’t it cold and dark? I know it happens every year when the clocks go back but it’s still a bit of a shock going to and leaving work in the dark! It’ll soon be Spring!

The Henries 2025

I know some time has passed since the Abba-themed Henries event in London at the beginning of October, but I do feel it’s worth mentioning the winners.

We were thrilled to have some of our suppliers winning awards in their category including Words ‘n’ Wishes, Lola Design, Paper Salad, Kingfisher Cards and Glick.

I had the pleasure of presenting the much-coveted awards for Best Service to the Independent Retailer, which were hard fought as always.

This year, IC&G took Gold with Allen Taylor, Sales Director & Simon Harper, Regional Manager collecting their award. John Egan, had a great evening at his first Henries, collecting the Silver award for UK Greetings.

The Bronze award was won by Pigment Productions.

Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to all the Cardgains members who voted this year.

In other news, we can report very encouraging trading through the months of September and October across

Cardgains members during the build up to Christmas. This continues the positive figures throughout the earlier part of the year. Well done to all members on their positivity, resilience and gumption!

I hope trading continues to be buoyant and your card machine is beeping frequently!

Thanks for reading and as always, “Thank you for your continued support!”
