    Sandie Gordon from @candlesfromthecroft https://www.candlesfromthecroft.co.uk/

    Candles from the Croft is a family run business based at Altass, a small Croft in the Scottish Highlands. Their journey all started from a love of candles in their own homes. Since they started their business in 2023, they have worked hard to produce vegan friendly, cruelty free and sustainable products using natural materials including those sourced from the land such as heather, mint and gorse.

    Candles from the Croft would like to learn more about the market in Ireland and in particular to research where areas/regions most be best suitable for their products. They are keen to make new connections particularly with businesses who may be able to act as a stockist for their products.
