I am sad to announce that on 31st July 2011 Yarwood-White will be taking its last orders for the foreseeable future.
I have made this very difficult decision for personal reasons. I am blessed to have two very young and lively sons, but I also have an ongoing issue with my health which means the challenges of juggling a family and a business are simply becoming too great for me to manage. I hope that by reducing my commitments in this way I can find the time I need to be with my children and look after my own health.
I started Yarwood-White in 2003 and it remains today my passion, joy and delight which will be extremely hard to let go. I have made friends, learnt life lessons, expanded my knowledge and had the privilege of working with so many wonderful brides and industry colleagues. I hope that when the time is right I can return to the industry in one shape or another.
We will be taking our final orders on 31st July 2011, so if you have your heart set on something please order by this date. Following that I will still be contactable via discover@yarwood-white.com should you need to reach me for any reason. Orders placed up to and including the 31st July will still be processed as normal, and our returns and exchanges policy will apply for 14 days after that. Please click here to read more about the policy, and be assured that if you order from us in the next few weeks we will provide all the customer support you need.
I would like to take this opportunity to say a very big and very public thank you to the amazing people that have made Yarwood-White the success it has been. I couldn’t have done it without...
