“With a dream of running our own business, we set the wheels in motion. I had a successful career in marketing for many years, but I had always said that when I had reached a milestone birthday I wanted to be my own boss. Eventually Chris, my husband, persuaded me to be brave and just do it.
He gave me the massive nudge I needed. He was also hankering after a fresh start after a career in engineering so we decided that we would set up a business together. This would give us the flexibility of time together away from the 9-5, give us a fresh challenge professionally and would be something I could really truly love doing. Willis Bloom was created with a simple ethos in mind. Live happily, embrace colour, have a passion for pattern and a desire for things that are naturally elegant.
