Welcome to Sapphire’s first blog. I hope I am not aging myself too much by saying I can remember when the fax machine was the next big thing.  When we finally got one we thought we were so modern.  How times have changed!  With all the ways to communicate we are truly in the age of information or as one Social Media guru put it ‘it’s the age of radical transparency.’

In our little part of the Social Media Circus we are aiming to help you get to know us better:  our thoughts on sustainability and organic production, the people behind the curtain and the part they play in getting your goods to you on time.  You will also get a look inside our factories and find out about the people who make them tick.

We hope you will take part in the conversation (as the mother of a teenager I get very excited when someone actually listens to me) and send us your feedback or questions.  Links to our blogs can be found through our Twitter posts and our new Facebook Page.  James Kwan our youngish and most definitely savvy Sales Manager is our new ‘Director of Tweets’.  Look for his tweets at @sapphireOEM.
