Catch up with new Guild Members

New Members

Member No: 160115652
Dan Cox from Newmakers

Newmakers design & manufacture kids contemporary products & toys. Everything we do comes from both our own hearts, and that of the beautiful Devon countryside where we live, work, and manufacture our entire range.

All items are made from high-grade beech plywood and solid beech timber. Materials are sourced from European plantations, and adhere to all EU environmental and sustainable forestry regulations.

Child safety is of primary concern to us, therefore all toy products are independently tested to CE EN-71 and ASTM F963 safety standards.

How is 2015 settling in?

This has been the first working week back for the PCG and what a busy one it has been!
We've seen massive changes due to new European regulations that will change the shape of many of our business over the year to come. I have a fabulous business workbook to get started on but haven't got round to it yet. It's set to be a busy one isn't it.
How are you finding early 2015 so far?



From 1st January 2015 the PCG
 is now only accepting new applications from the UK.
Members will soon also be asked to provide the area of the UK that they are in so that we can have a more regional feel.

Where is your work space?

As small businesses we all need our own dedicated work space. Whether it is a workshop, carefully designed home office or the corner of a family room this is the hub of your little empire.

The PCG (and other sides of my business) are all run from the corner of my kitchen. Nice and close to the kettle!

This is my little untidy desk.




I do actually have a little office in our bungalow but I don't like it in there (it's also rather messy and full of miscellaneous items). The office is small and cramped and feels very cut off from the rest of the house. I like my spot in the kitchen as it is most certainly at the heart of activity and I can see what is going on when everyone is about. It's also rather handy for working while I prepare dinner and of course keeping myself supplied with hot beverages.

Where is your work space?
