Arthur Price Forges Partnership With Staffordshire Artist

We are delighted to announce a partnership with Staffordshire artist Jackie Roberts. Jackie’s prints and other merchandise, depicting local landmarks, are now sold at the Arthur Price Factory Shop on Britannia Way, Lichfield.

 

Jackie is a Staffordshire-based artist who draws local towns, cities and villages, inspired by the landmarks around her. Her prints, tea towels, coasters, tote bags, magnets and key rings of Lichfield landmarks and buildings including the Cathedral, Samuel Johnson’s birthplace, the Guildhall, Erasmus House and Donegal House, can now be bought at another recognisable venue, the Arthur Price Factory Shop.

 

Jackie said, “I’m absolutely delighted to be partnering with a well-known British brand like Arthur Price.  They reached out to me saying they wanted to include my work because they love Lichfield and want to support other local businesses. I’ve got a fantastic display in their shop and I think it’s wonderful we are working together, which can only benefit us both.”

 

Bev Shepherd, Factory Shop Manager said, “We are all very proud Lichfieldians and it’s great to have such a talented local artist as Jackie selling her fantastic work in our shop. Just seeing Jackie’s work reminds me of how lucky we are to live in an area with so many beautiful buildings.

 

Simon Price, CEO of Arthur Price said, “Welcome Jackie. I’m a great believer in business partnerships. And as the challenging retail environment continues, partnerships and friendships are the way forward.”

Lichfield family firm Arthur Price has temporarily closed during the Covid 19 crisis. Having already closed its Lichfield factory shop last week due to worries over social distancing, CEO Simon Price has closed its Birmingham and Sheffield factories and Lichfield HQ.
 
“I’d like to thank every single member of the team for working with me during these difficult days, everyone has been brilliant; thoughtful and considerate of other staff, suppliers and customers and I thank them during this unprecedented worldwide crisis.”
 
“We stayed open even during two world wars, survived the great depression but this situation is different, and I pray for everyone that they stay fit and healthy.
 
“Please if you can support local independent businesses who are still able to open and are providing essential services while of course following social distancing advice.
 
“Everyone please stay at home. We may come back a slightly different society, but we will prevail. I am convinced with the measures that we take now we will beat this terrible virus.”
