Julie and Glenn Doherty originally started their business as an acetone supplier. When changes in regulations made acetone challenging to ship, undaunted, the couple decided to seek other opportunities and listed their leftover stock of bottles and caps on eBay. Surely someone would want to buy a bottle or two?
In 2011, Julie gave up her day job to concentrate on the growing demands of their eBay shop. Following a career-changing illness in 2013, Glenn also joined the company full-time, developing the product portfolio and website.
2016 saw turnover grow by 150%, and the hunt was on for additional staff and warehousing!
Olivia Doherty, the couple’s eldest daughter, joined the team in 2017 and was promoted to Quality Manager in 2018. In the same year, Glenn, ever the entrepreneur, moved on to his next exciting venture.
Helen Vanroose-Brydon joined the company in November 2021 as Operations Manager. She has quickly become an integral part of the business and the ‘family’ bringing with her a wealth of experience in sales and management.
Fast-forward to today, with a worldwide client base. Julie, Helen, and Olivia lead the business operations with a full team dedicated to helping new and established businesses across the UK and further afield grow and succeed.
