The Bright Board

 
The Bright Board is a bulletin board created to highlight the various goings-on in and around the world of BrightByBlack.co.uk and our sultry sister site, Black.co.ukHere you will find news of events, features, careers and links to some of the web's best sites, including to our blog.
 

 
 
Bright Sparks   
Epic. Throw in a Latin word and you have something of epic proportions (some may say pretensions...). To us, Bright Sparks has made and continues to make all the difference to our company. So, we're certain that its epic connotations do not over-egg the blancmange (or panacotta).
 
 
What?
 
 
Bright Sparks is a community of past customers, loyal customers and future customers of BrightByBlack.co.uk and Black.co.uk who advise and consult us on a whole range of issues spanning product range, pricing, value-for-money, buying, packaging, customer service, the navigability and aesthetic of the websites; in short - our business as it appears to you, the customer. We're on the lookout for new, web-savvy members who aren't afraid to dish out criticism.
 
 
How and When?
 
 
Members of Bright Sparks are sent a short, mainly multiple-choice questionnaire once a month written by BrightByBlack.co.uk's management. They may complete this in their own time, when it suits them, from the comfort of their own desktop. Once completed it is sent back to BrightByBlack.co.uk.
 
 
Why?
 
 
The purpose of this questionnaire may be either to find out what you think in broad terms of BrightByBlack.co.uk and its sister site Black.co.uk (the concept, the site, the brand, the products) or what you think of the specifics including design, graphics, individual products, events, pricing, service, photography. We will email you this questionnaire, which we expect to take a maximum of 20 mins to complete.
 
 
What's In It For Me?
 
 
Members of Bright Sparks will receive either a luxury accessory or £15 gift certificate for use on BrightByBlack.co.uk or Black.co.uk (whichever they prefer) per monthly questionnaire completed. For members who show visionary and imaginative insight, there is also the possibilty of a career at Black Ltd.

The Black and Bright Blog
 
 
There are some blogs that inform, some that entertain and some that cause revolutions. And then there is ours. The Black and Bright Blog is a resort of various ponderings; principally on accessories, fashion, places we've been, things we've thought. Regular features include: "I'd Love To Glove" - a chapter dedicated to putting upon the hands of a lime-lit person or thing just the right glove while others entries have been: "Black Banket Babylon Boulevard', 'The Divine Denominator', 'Ode to Autumn - Season of the Accessory' :
 
 
 
 
 
Ode to Autumn - Season of the Accessory.
 
 
(Black after Keats)
 
 
Season of wristand mittenfingerless-ness   
Close bosom friend of the hand-woven scarf;
Conspiring with him how to load and dress
With chequerboard, houndstooth and printed giraffe;
To grace a hand with nubuckand sheep-hair,
And wrap in cashmere a wind-bitten nose;
To fill the socksof Sea-Island cotton
With sun-shone legs and salt-dipped toes,
And still more, later bowsfor the hair,
Or crystal and buckles if you would dare,
For summer’s prickliness is soon forgotten.
