We're feeling a little broken, like everything is falling to pieces.
Things aren't very easy at the moment for most and we are feeling it too. We've been trying to hold things together for a little while but something has got to give.
Unfortunately with the current economic climate keeping Brick Box afloat is getting tougher and tougher. Last week we had to let our amazing team go in an attempt to save the dream, it was not an easy decision to make and it's one that has caused many sleepless nights.
This week sees the end of our Home Educators sessions and midweek activities, growth of our Bricklink store has also now come to an end which combined makes us even sadder.
Our little business has gone through many evolutions over the years, we've continuously tweaked our model to ensure we can stay affordable, engaging and relevant. After all if you don't innovate you evaporate especially in such a cut throat world but we've now found ourself in a position that in order to push forward we need to take a step back, regroup, recharge and then hopefully try again.
Since 2020 business has never come back to how it was prior to "the event that shall not be named" and since then it's been a fight for survival.
In an attempt to weather the storm of the current destruction that our country is going through we've taken the decision that Brick Box will go into semi hibernation.
Ewan will be returning to full time employment Monday to Friday outside the Brick Box then during evenings will be picking Bricklink orders and at weekends delivering awesome birthday parties and build sessions until times hopefully get better.
In the mean time that does mean that communication through our social media channels and emails may slow down and we'll be unable to open during half terms or for special events.
Although it feels like failure we're trying to stay positive and hopeful that things will get better, it is starting to feel like the game is rigged against us all but perhaps one day we'll all unify against the growing storm.
If anyone knows of any 9-5 style jobs for Ewan do send them his way, at this point all work is considered.🤣
Thank you all again for your continued support through these peculiar times. From the ashes the phoenix will rise once more. Keep smiling beautiful people 😀
