Celebrate Gifts gears up for Christmas

Formerly a Blackburn market stall, Celebrate Gifts now occupies 8,000 sq ft premises in Accrington, with 32 employees helping deliver 150,000 gifts per year.

Now the firm needs extra hands to help manage the Christmas rush.

"We also employ apprentices with a view to them developing their skills and stay with the company. It's amazing how passionate our staff are, they understand that every single chocolate bouquet is an important gift for someone." Paul Bloor, managing director, said the company plans for future growth: "We are always looking to expand. We are working towards introducing more products and entering the corporate sector with recent sponsorship of Accrington Stanley as part of our marketing plan."
