A Christmas message from our MD:

Whilst this year has been another commercially successful year at Blue Parrot with our move to our new premises and opening our new studio space, East Mains Studio, it has been a very tough year for many of the team, myself included.

As we approach Christmas, I want to take a moment not only to extend warm holiday wishes but also to recognise those for whom this season may not be so jubilant. I know I will be putting on my bravest of faces over the next week to try and make sure my children have a wonderful and magical time, and I know their joy will undoubtedly bring me genuine happiness too - but it will be difficult.

I extend heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has steadfastly supported us through some of our most challenging times this year. Even the smallest acts of kindness can have profound and positive impacts, and they are deeply appreciated. Collaborating with both long-standing and new clients has brought immense joy, creating unforgettable memories not just for our clients and audiences, but for ourselves as well.

Pictured below is the illuminated star we install atop SSt Michael's Parish Churchevery year - the annual installation at the start of December is a much loved and looked forward to highlight in our schedule. This year has also been a difficult year for the church which has made this particular installation all the more special.

In the spirit of community and support, I'm organising a couple of casual drop-in sessions at our Broxburn location for anyone who finds themselves struggling this Christmas season. The sessions will take place on the 27th and 30th of December, from 2 to 4 pm. This will offer an opportunity for friendly conversation in a welcoming environment, complemented by plenty of tea, coffee, cake, and biscuits. Entry will be via the accessible entrance at the far end of the car park. I know only too well what it is like to be surrounded by people and yet feel so very alone, and I believe no-one should be left feeling alone at Christmas.��

Lots of love,

Rebecca ###

Please note: we are currently having the power supply to our new studio upgraded which means we currently have no power at all at our premises. The work will hopefully be completed and power restored within the next few hours. In the meantime we are unable to accept calls on our 0131 381 3310 or 0131 510 3333 numbers (if you’re still using the 3333 number please update your records to the 3310 number as 3333 will soon cease to operate!). Apologies for any inconvenience.

A message from our MD:

This Pride Month let's stand together to celebrate love, equality, and diversity. It's a time to honour the LGBTQ+ community, recognise their contributions, and advocate for their rights. Here's why Pride Month is so important:

Embracing Diversity

Pride Month is a celebration of the beautiful tapestry of human diversity. It's a reminder that love knows no boundaries and that everyone deserves to be embraced for who they are.

Advocating for Equality

We believe in a world where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The transgender community is an integral part of the LGBTQ+ community, and it is important to recognise and support their unique struggles. Transgender individuals often face discrimination, lack of understanding, and limited access to healthcare and legal protections. Let's amplify their voices, advocate for their rights, and work towards a society that fully embraces and accepts transgender individuals.

Supporting LGBTQ+ Rights

This month, and always, let's support LGBTQ+ rights and work towards creating inclusive spaces where everyone feels safe and accepted.

Spreading Love and Acceptance

Love is love, and it knows no gender. Let's spread love, kindness, and acceptance to create a world where everyone can live authentically and proudly.

Join us in celebrating Pride Month and supporting the LGBTQ+ community. Together, we can make a difference and create a more inclusive and accepting world for all.

Having greenery around (even if in the middle of an industrial estate) is definitely good for mental health. And it makes our new sign look even better! We’re lucky enough to have 3 of these beautiful trees in our front car park.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we’re all lit up in green (on this rather gloomy day).

This week is the biggest opportunity for the whole of the UK to come together and concentrate on the importance of good mental health. The week's goal is to confront and overcome stigma, and to help people to understand and prioritise their own mental health, as well as that of others.

Mental Health Awareness Week ensures that mental health, which has been sidelined, tucked away, and silenced for far too long, remains at the centre of the public conversation.

Many of you are already aware that this subject holds a special place in our hearts at Blue Parrot and we’re always an advocate for starting meaningful conversations. Indeed, if you’re ever in need of a cup of coffee and a good friendly chat, you will always find an open door here.

Lots of love from team Blue Parrot xx 💚💚💚

It's almost move-in day for the warehouse team at our new premises in Broxburn. Here's a peak at the racking section of the warehouse. Just needs a good mop and then some kit!

With that in mind, please note that all day-to-day business and warehouse operations will be from our Broxburn address from Monday 1st April onwards. We look forward to welcoming you there!

Business will carry on as normal throughout our move.

Sometimes it’s the little things that can bring the greatest joy. The first lick of traditional Blue Parrot blue paint going on the staircase. Each premises we have occupied over the last 24 years have always had their stairs painting in this colour (if they had stairs!).
