Every family has one – the difficult person to buy for. But this year, if your difficult customer is a Bentley aficionado, it’s not too late to wrap up the perfect stocking filler for them, thanks to Bentley’s limited edition set of sustainable tree decorations. “Sustainabaubles”, if you will. Under the guidance of Bentley’s Head of Design Collaboration, Brett Boydell, the 12 beautiful jewel-like decorations were covertly designed by Bentley’s in-house apprentices and crafted with help of the artisan craftspeople based at the factory in Crewe. The decorations are the centrepiece of Bentley’s 2021 festive campaign, a beautifully produced film in which the apprentices take on the role of Santa’s elves when the whereabouts of Bentley’s usual Christmas decorations is thrown into doubt. With help from Brett and master craftspeople in the factory, they covertly rescue offcuts and spare parts, transforming them into beautiful pieces of festive art. Bentley’s Board members start to realise that something is up, but know that the extraordinary is always possible in Crewe.
Raise money for three important charities; the MS Trust, Duchenne UK and Alzheimer’s Society.Lighting the way after the Festive MINI Electric’s first public appearance at The Lexicon Bracknell in Berkshire, on the 25th November, the car will travel to various locations around the UK, driven by project creator Nicholas ‘Nico’ Martin.The sen-sleigh-tional project first started over three years ago, with Nico hand-wrapping his MINI in fairy-lights and displaying it in his local town of Bracknell. However, in December 2020, without the usual Christmas switch-on displays delivering much-needed festive spirit, Nico realised he could use the Festive MINI to bring joy and positivity to people on their own doorsteps, whilst also raising awareness and over £5000 for the MS Trust and Duchenne UK, two charities very close to his heart.
