‘This event promises to be like no other, and that makes it a natural fit for us at James Cropper,’ said Jordan Scott, head of marketing and communications at James Cropper Paper & Packaging. ‘We have been proud advocates of the UK’s creative community for decades, not just through our products – which are the very materials that empower creatives – but by directly engaging with the community to exchange perspectives, inspiration, and cutting edge ideas. As such, it will be an honour for us to help mark the 10th anniversary of Multiplicity with our friends and industry partners.’

Jordan continued, ‘Foilco has been a trusted partner of ours for several years, so we are thrilled to help support the team put on what we expect to be a spectacular event in a unique, inspiring venue. We will be there to experience it with our Coloursource collection, celebrating the art of UK made colour and the power of collaboration alongside Winter & Company, the exclusive supplier of Coloursource.’

‘Multiplicity has always been about creating genuine space for our creative community to connect and learn from each other,’ said Matt Hornby, Foilco’s chief creative officer. ‘Reaching our tenth year feels significant – it shows there’s real appetite for these honest conversations about design practice. We are excited to bring together this calibre of speakers and continue building the connections that make our industry stronger.’
