- Independents Day04 July 2012
-
It's Independents Day today. All of us are being encouraged to buy at least one item from a local, independent company.
Staying Cool is very proud to be a small, independent and we use our buying power to support other companies like us. For instance, the cafetiere coffee in our Rotunda apartments is supplied by the Urban Coffee Company, which now has three outlets in Birmingham and is taking on the corporate coffee chains in the city, and we buy thousands of juicing oranges a year from the local market.
We also actively seek out independents for bigger purchases. We bought our sofas from naughtone, who design and manufacture near Harrogate, and Heather at Eclectic Chair in Leeds handmakes cushions and curtains for us. - Purnell's Wins Major Award03 July 2012

We were excited to see that one of our favourite Birmingham restaurants, Purnell's, has won the prestigious BMW Square Meal Best UK Restaurant Award 2012.
This award sees Purnell's beating world-renowned restaurants, such as Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir de Quatre Saisons, to first place. You can read Square Meal's full top 50 UK list here.
Turners also made the grade at number 36.
