Founder, The Party Pieces, Carole Middleton shares festive fun video with fans. She and chief executive Steven Bentwood enacted a play fight with the company’s 99p inflatable space sabers, to coincide with the release of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Party Pieces, sells party supplies and accessories, and was founded in1987.
From a studio in the family’s garden, the company moved to a new headquarters in Hungerford and even outgrew that space. In 1993, Party Pieces took over Childs Court farm in Yattendon turning it into a shiny new head office.
During an interview in 2018 with Good Housekeeping, Carole revealed that her three children Kate, Pippa and James Middleton have all been involved in the family business.
She said:
“Catherine started the First Birthday brand – she chose the products and looked after all the imagery and the catalogue production. Pippa set up the blog, as we didn’t have one. James came up with the idea of personalised cakes and got them off the ground for us.
“Because they all grew up with me working, Party Pieces has been very much part of our lives and what we talked about. I still ask their advice and say ‘What do you think of this?'”
