Back in 1986 the resourceful staff at her school use to ask students to bring in empty wine casks when their parents were finished, take the bladder out, cut the sides into the shape of what we now know as the book box and cover it in contact to hold it all together.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur founder used to look at these fun but rough boxes and wonder if something could be made to help teachers organise their classrooms without the extra work of drinking the wine and converting the casks.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShe sat down one day with a friend who ran a cardboard manufacturing company and based on the feedback from the staff and teachers at her school came up with a design for a \"book box\".\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThey made 100 samples and sent them out to 100 schools with a note along the lines of “here’s a book box - what do you think?” The answer from schools was overwhelmingly positive. 34 years later and thanks to all those creative teachers our range includes all sorts of book boxes - fluoro for the fashionable, black for the sophisticated and every other colour in between. Nothing beats an Elizabeth Richards Book Box as an affordable, easy and colourful way to organise your classroom.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd parents had to find other excuses for drinking a whole cask of wine....\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eMission Statement\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eOur mission is to help educators create beautiful learning spaces... to deliver the very best in storage solutions, furniture and resources for schools, teachers and their classrooms.
