The Colleague Box Story
Hello! We're Adam and Natalie, a husband and wife team and founders of Colleague Box.
​
In May 2020, we were tasked by our then employer to design a personalised gift box to help the company connect to its remote workforce.
​
The gifts were a real hit, and the word started to spread thanks to social sharing. We were soon receiving enquiries from other local businesses asking if we could help send Colleague Boxes to their employees.
​
And that's how Colleague Box was born.

Technology, great wine and gorgeous food.. is pretty much me in a few words.
​
I work to create great teams that acheive amazing outcomes, the most recent being the multi-million pound exit of Selenity.
I believe and have proven that, if you create nice places to work, the results are enhanced, and colleagues are happy..so they tell people. Colleague Box was created to support this model.
