We Three Bears in Attleborough backed by Jarrold Growth Fund

We Three Bears in Attleborough, known for its personalised clothing, gifts and accessories, is investing in new embroidery equipment after becoming the latest business to benefit from the Jarrold Growth Fund.

The funding will enable the business to double its in-house personalisation capacity from two machines to four.

We Three Bears has also opened a new personalisation service inside Jarrolds' Norwich department store.

In addition to financial support, Jarrolds' marketing agency, Yawn Marketing, is working with the firm to bolster its e-commerce presence and optimise its online customer journey ahead of the festive period.

Tim Shattock, Jarrolds retail managing director, said: "We have seen a clear shift towards personalised and bespoke products as part of everyday gifting.

"Customers increasingly want to give something meaningful and unique, and We Three Bears has created a wonderful brand around that demand.

"The Growth Fund is about helping ambitious local businesses take the next step in their growth journey.

"By investing in additional embroidery equipment and supporting the development of a new in-store personalisation service, we're helping We Three Bears reach new customers while enhancing the experience we offer at Jarrolds."

Paul and Jes Anderson, founders of We Three Bears, said the support from the fund "will make a huge difference to our business".

"Expanding our embroidery capacity means we can increase production, improve turnaround times and fulfil more customer orders, particularly during busy seasonal periods," they said.

"We're especially excited about bringing our personalisation service into Jarrolds and introducing our products to a wider audience.

"The additional support from Yawn Marketing is also helping us strengthen our online presence as we prepare for future growth."

The Jarrold Growth Fund was launched in 2024 as part of the group's initiative to support entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainable business growth across Norfolk.

The fund provides financial investment, mentoring and access to professional expertise across various sectors.
