Companies wanting to make a cracking impression are making their way to a Brighton-based company.

Your Crackers manufactures the party favourites, using branding and content chosen by businesses to make their events go with a bang.

It has supplied more than 1,000 sets of tailor-made crackers and is gearing up for the festive season.

Account director Mandi Wheeler said: "We design crackers in company colours and use the company logo.

"Top London stores have been offering a tailor-made services of this kind for many years but often the price tag is way beyond the means of the smaller business. We are making sure no-one misses out on the fun by providing quality but affordable products.

"Our crackers all contain a balloon and a foil hat and you can choose your own jokes from 100 suggested funnies, or if you feel brave, make up your own joke to be inserted in the cracker. But we reserve the right of veto as to what is funny."

Each cracker also has a sterling silver gift from a selection sourced from around the country, with items suitable for both sexes.

Ms Wheeler said: "Companies can supply their own gifts, maybe from existing stocks of promotional items. They can order empty crackers with their corporate identity. ready to be filled by their own staff."

Delivery takes between four to six weeks. Prices start from around £6 for an empty cracker, with a minimum order of 500.

Your Crackers was founded this autumn by design firm, The Electric Pencil Company which was established in 1989. The business employs five people. For more information, call Mandi on 01273 544904.
