Beatons Blog : #beatonstearooms: Celebrates World Poetry Day every March!

Here at 'Beatons Central' (our HQ) we believe poetry belongs everywhere, including the business environment. Poetry is part of our brand and we raise a cup of our finest loose leaf tea to all UK poets celebrating World Poetry Day.

As well as a poem postcard being commissioned for each location we launch a new tearooms in, every new Franchise Business Owner is presented with a copy of 'Distinguished Leaves: Poems for tea-lovers' so they can get to know their teas and (possibly for some) discover poetry can be fun and inspiring! Written by our House Poet and Non-Executive Director, Liz Darcy Jones - who also happens to be a Tea Poet - it's a delightful book which brings the characters of different teas to life in a most poetic way.

Take a look at this commissioned poem below also by Liz. It is functional! We use it to seek out initial interest from potential franchisees to join Beatons in the next step of their success story.
