The latest issue of Progressive Party is available to read now

You can now read the latest issue of Progressive Preschool magazine online, to find out the latest news, views andcover issues taking place in the party industry.

With restrictions now finally lifted, the UK has started to party again, and with some key events coming up in the calendar, there is lots to look forward to as we head into the autumn and winter months.

A key focus for this issue is the matter of sustainability, and how the party industry is fully embracing it, and working hard to make products, business practices and manufacturing processes more environmentally friendly, while still keeping the party going. We hear from a range of key execs on how they are making changes and bringing sustainability front of mind in all they do.
