Planting Trees, Protecting Tomorrow

We are thrilled to share the progress of our exciting tree planting project undertaken this past winter. As part of our commitment to sustainability and eco-friendliness, over the past few years, we have embarked on a journey to create a native UK woodland right here on the land surrounding our workshop. This project is not just about offsetting our carbon footprint; it’s about fostering a thriving habitat for local wildlife and embracing our love for trees.

Our team has personally planted a diverse array of native UK species, including rowan, silver birch, sessile oak, sweet chestnut, and hazel. Each tree plays a vital role in enhancing biodiversity and creating a nurturing environment for wildlife. We believe that taking direct action is crucial, and that’s why we’ve rolled up our sleeves and planted every single tree ourselves.

At The Empty Box Company, we are deeply committed to becoming a net zero company, and this woodland project is a significant step towards that goal. We are proud to be part of the global movement to combat climate change and are excited to contribute positively to our environment. We hope our efforts inspire you, plus other small UK businesses to make a difference, however small, as much as they enrich our local ecosystem. This winter we have planted 550 trees, (quite alot of digging!) and would like to say thank you to our customers who have supported our journey towards a greener future!

I had three Bespoke Hat Boxes made for me all those years ago (1993) in my left over French wall paper I had in my London bathroom. It was a very grand bathroom. I've moved since, always with these boxes. To the Cotswolds, to Saint Remy de Provence, and now to Naples, Florida. They are going to be someone's long after I am gone. Much adored, thank you! My boxes are beautiful, I'm so glad I found you all those years ago. I just discovered too your splendid YouTube channel. Thank you for opening new doors!

I have recently received my order from you, and would just like to thank you all so much for my wedding dress box. It was a surprise to see such a wonderful designed box, which had a lot of storage space. I have searched high and low for a large box and have only been successful with yourself.
Very rarely in this busy world we lead do I feel strongly enough to put “pen to paper” however having taken delivery of my wedding dress travel box this morning I feel compelled to write to you! I must admit that initially, I hesitated about placing an order for what seemed effectively like just an empty box. Well, I stand corrected! The box is absolutely stunning and of amazing quality – I simply had to express my thanks for supplying such a beautiful product. Rest assured it will be displayed with pride on top of my wardrobe.
Wow! What a beautiful box for my wedding dress. It was so sad to pack my dress away, but your box was just perfect. My Mum thought I was ordering just an ordinary plain box! No way! Thank you so much.
