Remembering Peter Ireland
In somber news, the toy industry bids farewell to an iconic figure, Peter Ireland. As reported by Bigjigs Toys, Ireland, who co-founded Bigjigs Toys in 1985, passed away earlier this month. From humble beginnings in a Kent garden shed, he grew Bigjigs into a globally recognized family-run company, renowned for its wooden toys. Ireland is remembered for his dedication to making toys that made children happy, leaving a lasting legacy in the industry.
From Sweet Experiences to Seasonal Themes
