Meet the Business Owner

James R.

Business Owner

On a visit to the Isle of Skye Soap Company James saw an opportunity to start his own business when he noticed they sold candles which were made in Cornwell. He sold his first candles to the Isle of Skye Soap Company, who have been most supportive throughout, just before the summer tourist rush. A few years on and with a fresh new look and logo for the candles, James felt that the products were developed to a point where they thought they would sell well not only on Skye but to the whole of the UK.
