Thursday night hosted a networking event with Matt Jones as part of their Business Ignites series.

I (Katrina) sat down at the table to be pleasantly surprised to see these table mats.

Last year we were asked to upcycle their old banners that were no longer viable to repair. And these are the results. From street banners to table centre pieces, I sat quietly proud of the roll we played in giving the banners a second chance at marketing 😆 and life.
