I have always had an itch to work for myself & run my own business. Being a single parent from a young age meant that I was the only sole income in my household. Constantly feeling under immense pressure to juggle it all, I never felt like I had time or freedom. As a child It was instilled in me to simply ‘get on with it'. This served me well as an adult, I didn't have time to procrastinate & think, So, I worked hard & was given some great opportunities. Working for a global company I thought I was safe in a secure role. On paper this was all great, however the reality was very different I found myself being constantly downtrodden, constantly felt undermined & irrelevant. This was how I felt working in a corporate world, However, I had a plan, to buy my property & then leave the corporate world once I had got my own business up & running. All seemed to be going well until COVID-19 came along. Never having been furloughed, I thought I was safe. Then I got a call advising the company needed to make redundancies & this is when my world changed. I was made redundant & sent on my way. This really made me reflect & think about what I now wanted from life. Living and growing up in the Suffolk countryside really made me appreciate the delicate ecosystem in which we live, having a huge affinity to forage and make use of wild flora and fauna, making jams, cordials, syrups and other concoctions has always been a great pastime of mine, this is how Apothekelly began...
