Well, as you're here.
Well, well, well, look who has come crawling back. Well, not fully, but it felt somewhat churlish to cut you off from Tat cold turkey. I won’t be writing separate articles for here, but I thought, if you liked the Substack, you’ll like the Tat blog. Perhaps you haven’t seen some of the recent free articles, and they might pique your interest. And for those tempted to go further, there’s always the Membership side—just £25 a year, offering a bit more to sink your teeth into.
Some of you might even be interested in our weekly roundup of the latest and greatest jobs in the interiors industry. For that—and more—you may want to sign up for our newsletter (free) to stay right up to date!
