Name: Stephanie
Role at Shearer: Marketing & PD Manager & third generation in the family business
What do you love about your job? Private label projects! I love being able to create beautiful, fragranced candles and diffusers for brands large and small. Every project is different, as are the challenges that each project comes with. Seeing the finished product in the flesh is so rewarding.
I am so lucky to be able to work with so many interesting women; each has extra special skills in what they do. I learn a lot from these ladies!
