When Kerri (Binnie) Middleton came up with her first idea in the back of a camper van in Australia in 1997, she had no idea that her first design would end up in the Museum of Modern Art, New York, and that this would be the first of many ‘oh so clever’ ideas to take Busy B products to global success. Now with hundreds of products filled with thousands of clever features, a household name lining the shelves of many renowned retailers, and customers all around the world, Kerri and the Busy B team are proud to be celebrating 20 years of growing success. So here's to finding more beautiful solutions to real life problems, here's to many more stylish and oh so clever collections and more than anything, here's to everyone who has been part of our journey so far!
Message from Kerri
“From designing my first product in my spare room 20 years ago, to the 100 products in the Busy B range today, it’s wonderful to see how far we’ve come! I have loved creating products that make life more beautifully organised, and I want to say a HUGE thank you to our customers for using and loving our products for the past 20 years.”
To mark our 20th birthday, we have re-introduced our first ever product. A limited run of Christmas Card trees are now available, and we are delighted to be donating £3 from each sale of this Christmas Card Tree to Breast Cancer Care until 31st January 2019.
From a Camper Van in Sydney to the Museum of Modern Art in New York; a spare bedroom in Edinburgh to door-steps the world over, the Busy B brand and its products have been on quite the journey. Here are some highlights below!
From the early days when a team of two worked in Kerri's spare bedroom (including her right-hand woman Rosy who is still working with us today!), the team has grown significantly over the years, with two office moves and a growing number of partners and agents stretching across the UK. We want to say a huge thank you to the brilliant Busy B team whose passion and dedication over the last twenty years have got us to where we are now, and we're looking forward to welcoming more into our growing family very soon!
