Environmental concerns connected to product manufacturing<br />

As a manufacturer of wooden toys, we’re serious about reducing our impact and making ethical<br />

decisions within the company. <strong>Bigjigs</strong> <strong>Toys</strong> ® is committed to responsible manufacturing. We work<br />

closely with a number of production facilities in the Far East which are regularly visited by our<br />

Managing Director, Liz. Liz takes great care to ensure that the facilities are operating ethically and are<br />

committed to the quality that we expect.<br />

Operational, Warehouses & Offices<br />
