Great to be part of the this week.

The Arden Software Team joined our partner Hybrid Software for their popular event focused on the latest developments shaping packaging and print production.

The integration between Impact and PACKZ was a key theme throughout the day, highlighting how our technologies work together to connect structural design with graphics and pre-press in one streamlined workflow.

Our Technical Director, Matt Hewitt, took to the stage to share Arden's perspective on the integration and how our partnership with Hybrid is helping to create smarter, more connected packaging workflows.

Thanks to Hybrid for organising another great event and to everyone who joined us!

Team Arden has been baking up a storm once again! 🍰

Last week, our Marple team came together for our annual Macmillan Coffee Morning in support of Macmillan Cancer Support, and, as ever, the team really pulled out all the stops.

There were cakes, bakes and plenty of treats to go around, all helping us raise more than £600 for Macmillan! 💚

Cancer charities are our chosen Charity of the Year, making the Coffee Morning particularly special as we continue raising money for a cause that means so much to so many of us.

A huge thank you to everyone who baked, bought, donated and helped make it such a fantastic success!

Family businesses have been in the spotlight this month, with National Family Business Day celebrating the contribution they make to communities and the UK economy.

Here at Arden, our family business story stretches back more than six decades - from brothers Frank and Philip Poynter starting out in the cellar of their family home in Stockport, to the global Arden Group we are today.

Now in our third generation of family ownership, we’re incredibly proud of that heritage, so much so, we’ve brought the Arden story to life on the walls of our headquarters in Marple, thank to the very talented artist Jamie Stockley: Doodles and Murals.

Our Arden Story mural captures some of the people, milestones and moments that have shaped the business over the years, providing a striking reminder of where we’ve come from and the people who have helped make Arden what it is today.
