Granny M Essentials was established in 1990 by Margaret Whatley, a Nurse and a qualified aromatherapist, Margaret used pure essential oils and natural bases for her products, to formulate products for natural skin care and bath time using aromatherapy as the main base.
After trading at many craft fairs and working from home, Family Commitments meant that Margaret had a very hard decision to make and finally retired in November 2006. The business was sold as a going concern and My background was in natural alternative therapies, I successfully purchased the business in December 2006, with the guarantee that we would continue with Margarets Ethos of supplying Natural Bath and Body products.
Where are we now 1 year on!
In the first year we expanded the business to include a wholesale side to the business. We successfully launched our hospitality range of complimentary toiletries in April 2007, with securing the luxury China Fleet Country Club at Saltash as one of clients. We have also launched several new products in the last 12 months and ensured that 99% of our products are now SLS/SLES and Paraben Free, along with 100% of our products now artificial colouring and fragrance free. As of April 1st 2008 all of our Shower Gels and Shampoo's will be made with fully certified Organic Ingredients.
We have also changed our packaging to make them all 100% recyclable and increased our accessories range to include natural sea sponges and egyptian loofahs.
We also distribute Wildberry Incense in the South West of England only 1 of 2 companies in the UK to distribute this Natural Incense from the USA.
With a successful mail order and retail online business and an ever growing trade business Granny M Essentials is a business that is always looking forward.
What does the future hold?
