Balancing Act (2014)
“And for hinged-lid tins, about half that.’ They were sitting in his office, which had been converted from a Victorian barn within sight of the M6. The barn, and the farmhouse it had once served, had long since lost all agricultural connections, and were now reincarnated as a small light-industrial estate with a tidy road system edged with orderly municipal planting. Susie, who liked randomness in natural things, found these trips to Tinware for Today aesthetically offensive, but it was a small ...British company, founded by an enterprising man who had grown up in Newcastle-under-Lyme, and therefore it ticked all her required boxes for local manufacture. She had discovered the company almost fifteen years ago, when it was just a fledgling start-up, and had been the first manufacturer to give it a substantial order. Since then, she had gone there twice a year, to present her new designs in person and to talk them through, in every detail, with the team who would produce Susie Sullivan tin trays, lunchboxes and biscuit tins.MoreLess
