Ministry of Colours Update
Well, what a year it has been.
Like many businesses, we experienced plenty of highs and a few challenges along the way. However, when we look back at the year overall, we feel incredibly proud of everything we achieved at Ministry of Colours.
Most importantly, we loved seeing so many of our customers create amazing events, raise money for important causes and make colourful memories with our products.
We hope all of your celebrations, fundraisers and colour events went brilliantly. Even better, we cannot wait to help you again throughout 2024.
If you need inspiration for your next event, make sure to check out our social media pages to see how customers used our colour powder throughout the year.
A New Ministry of Colours Warehouse
Some of you may already know that we moved again this year.
This time, we moved back into our own warehouse space. As a result, we now have much better control over our stock, packing and shipping processes.
Most importantly, this move allows us to continue delivering the friendly and efficient customer service that Ministry of Colours is known for.
In addition, having our own warehouse gives us more flexibility as we continue to grow our product range and support even more events across the UK.
Brighter Colour Powder for 2024
We are also very excited to announce a huge improvement for 2024: even brighter and better colour powder.
At Ministry of Colours, colour always comes first. Therefore, we spent a long time looking at ways to improve our powders even further.
In the end, we chose to return to sourcing our traditional colour powder directly from India. After all, India is the original home of gulal powder and the world-famous Holi Festival.
As a result, our updated powders deliver brighter colours, stronger visual impact and even more vibrant colour throws.
We cannot wait to share more details with you throughout the year.
Thinking About Sustainability
At the same time, we know we must stay mindful of our environmental impact.
When we looked closely at the production process, we realised many raw materials already travel internationally before manufacturers produce colour powder in the UK.
Because we import in larger container shipments, this method remains one of the most efficient transport options in terms of CO2 emissions.
In addition, we continue working closely with our delivery partners to improve efficiency wherever possible.
New Collection Point Delivery Options
We have also worked with our shipping partner to introduce more convenient collection point delivery options.
This change gives customers more flexibility while also helping reduce unnecessary courier mileage. For example, collection points can prevent failed delivery attempts and reduce repeated delivery journeys.
As a result, customers can often receive parcels more conveniently while helping lower transport emissions at the same time.
Preparing for Holi Season
Right now, we are preparing for our busiest time of year: the run-up to Holi Festival.
Every year, we see more schools, charities and community groups organise Holi-themed events using vibrant colour throwing powder.
These events create a fantastic opportunity for schools to explore cultural traditions from around the world. At the same time, they help bring communities together through colour, creativity and celebration.
We especially love seeing how schools use Holi events to encourage cultural learning, teamwork and fundraising activities.
If you are planning your own event, do not forget to explore our range of:
- Traditional colour powder
- White T-shirts
- Sunglasses
- Flower leis
- Colour powder fountains
- Colour powder calculator
