Eco-friendly, protective packaging solutions for a range of market sectors including boardsports, drinks, cosmetics, electronics, homeware and commercial. Environmentally friendly Where possible, we use material made from over 85% recycled paper pulp while all virgin paper is FSC certified. All our packaging is curbside recyclable, biodegradable and compostable in 6 weeks. To date, with the help from our customers, we have removed over 1641km of plastic from the packaging industry. Flexible & easy to assemble Designed to be user-friendly, all our packaging is intuitive to assemble and uses minimal material, making it easy to slot into the production process. With the sleeve expanding to 35 times its compact size, our packaging is adaptable and can be applied across a wide range of applications. Cost efficient One pallet of Flexi-Hex is equivalent to five pallets of bubble wrap, reducing shipping and storage costs and ultimately the impact on our environment Customisable In the growing world of e-commerce, packaging is often a consumer’s first interaction with a brand. That’s why our boxes and wraps can be fully customised with your company branding.

Based in London, Richard Brendon was launched in 2013 with the intention of creating a contemporary and timeless tableware collection, produced entirely by master craftsmen and heritage industries around the world.

Our stockists include Harrods, Bergdorf Goodman and Lane Crawford. We supply hotels such as Rosewood, Four Seasons and Gleneagles.

A celebration of all that we love about Marlborough. Nestled between the snow capped Southern Alps and the Pacific Ocean, at the top of New Zealand’s South Island, this is our home, the place where we have built our knowledge and honed our craft, working for some of the regions’ pioneers.
