WE ARE A FAIR TRADE COMPANY

Starbeck is a full member of BAFTS & as such we encourage
& support the fair trade movement wherever & whenever we can.
"Fantastic service not only in idea but in ease of process & ordering. Will certainly be using Starbeck again."
Natalie Beaumont, Great Dunmow Primary School, Essex   

For TV, film & theatre hire rates, please contact us direct on 01765 607815

"What an amazing variety of artefacts! Wow! So interesting & very inspiring. A great selection sent to choose from & free delivery & collection - such a brilliant service."
Joanna Coulson, Cardiff High School  
 "A Super selection. Will be looking at the website. Thanks for coming to the school."
Ann Wheeler, Brimpton CE School, Hants 

"Great service! Friendly staff with a great selection to choose from."
Adele Whitehouse, Stirling High School 
"The new D&T curriculum at both KS3 & 4 requires us all to be far more aware of different cultures, much more aware of sustainability issues & fair trade. This amazing collection of artefacts is essential for schools to be able to build up a wide range of products that reflect different values. Creativity is high on the national agenda & what better way of opening students' eyes to a whole new world than to dip in to the Starbeck van."
Brian Russell, Dixon's City Academy, Bradford   
The Starbeck Sales Van will be visiting schools in London
20th - 24th May; then again 3rd - 7th June. Please get in
touch to make an appointment.

We shall be having a sale of ex-hire & repaired
returns at our Ripon warehouse this Saturday 25th May
9am - 3pm, so come along & grab a bargain!
Starbeck are the specialist school supplier of inexpensive, exciting & unusual ethnic & religious artefacts. We offer an unrivalled range of multicultural artefacts including masks, textiles, musical instruments, pottery, carvings, utensils, clothes, items made from recycled products etc. etc. On top of this we have the best selection of natural forms available to art depts in the country. We may be a small company tucked away in North Yorkshire, but we have built up a nationwide reputation for good service, great value & carry such a diverse range of stock which cannot be matched. Don't take our word for it, read your colleagues' comments here.
You can purchase our products by:

1. Sales Van   Our sales van travels throughout the country serving the whole of mainland UK - so no matter where you are based - we can visit you. We carry a huge amount of stock in the van, so whatever your requirements are, you will not be disappointed when Stewart calls. We can invoice school for any purchases and can take card, cheque, cash payments for any personal purchases. This is a great way to see our products! You are under no obligation to buy - see what your colleagues say about the van here: 
(Van feedback)
2. Approval Boxes   We operate a unique nation-wide approval box service. We deliver to your school boxes of affordable artefacts for you to look at & to choose from. The service is free – there is no charge for delivery or collection. We invoice you only for any items that you choose to keep. You are under no obligation to buy & there is no minimum order. You can take as many or as few items as you wish from each box. This is a very popular & easy way to purchase our products.(Approval box comments.)

3. Value & Explorer Boxes
  
For those on a specific budget, we have introduced Value Boxes containing a good selection of the more popular artefacts for each subject. In some categories we offer Explorer Boxes which have a larger selection. Both boxes offer great value for money & are ideal for teachers where time is at a premium
.  



4. Warehouse - above.   
You are most welcome to visit our warehouse in Ripon, we are very easy to find. We're on the edge of town & are just a few minutes from the motorway. Please remember to phone first to make an appointment as very occasionally we are all out at an exhibition or course etc.

5. Internet Sales  
Not only do we supply schools with our great products - we also sell to private individuals, interior designers & film, tv & theatre companies. We welcome all enquiries, large or small, - we're happy to hear from you. Please phone, fax or email us. We do accept credit & debit cards over the telephone.
6. Exhibitions
& Courses
   
We regularly exhibit at training courses, pyramid & cluster-group meetings etc. Please get in touch if you would like us to attend - we guarantee to make a colourful addition to your event!
7. Sale Events  Your school can benefit from holding a Starbeck Sale. We can send you sale or return boxes of artefacts for you to sell. In return you receive 30% commission - in goods - for all purchases made on the day. We pay for the delivery & collection of the stock to & from school. All you need to do is get the publicity & invites out & the tea & biscuits in. So the more people you invite - colleagues from neighbouring schools, pyramid or cluster group friends, college students, trainee teachers, parents etc., the greater the chance to earn!

We are experienced suppliers to Early Years, Sure Start & Flying Start centres with exciting & relevent multicultural resources including musical instruments, colourful textiles, puppets, seashells, mobiles, cds, flags, baskets etc. etc.

Wanted: Art Galleries to host exhibitions of our quality tribal art pieces. If you own a gallery and would be interested in hosting an exhibition that would be different to say the least, please get in touch. Visit our gallery page to see examples we could exhibit.
  

New-build and referbishments.
We are experienced suppliers of artefacts for enhancing a single classroom or a complete school. No other UK company can offer such a diverse range of great value artefacts for the classroom. Please get in touch to find out more.
