Our Story

Founded in 2023 by Imogen Beresford and Nathan Cole, COLFORD is the go-to gifting service for businesses looking to elevate the unboxing experience through considered brand expressions and seeding activity.

With backgrounds in the luxury lifestyle industries including flowers, food and fashion, the co-founders identified the common challenge faced by many businesses: to execute gifting activity efficiently and thoughtfully. COLFORD offers end-to-end support, transforming what is all too often an afterthought into a beautiful and responsible brand moment, whilst making a more benevolent impact on people and planet.

COLFORD combines centuries-old gifting traditions and customs with the latest material innovations to design, produce, package and deliver memorable brand moments.

Believing that change comes about through collaboration and positive influence, the COLFORD wordmark is a portmanteau of the co-founders' surnames, representing a shared vision for a less wasteful approach to gift-giving. In this spirit, the studio offers access to a curated network of artists, craftspeople and designer-makers to produce bespoke gifts, which are wrapped and packaged in custom, responsibly-sourced materials before being delivered with flare and minimal emissions.

Based in London and servicing clients worldwide, COLFORD is disrupting the corporate gifting landscape in a mindful and beautiful way.
