Iโve been there and done it. I have built my business from scratch combining my job in the city with my love of artisan products. I found soap and candle making a very therapeutic way to escape from the daily stresses of working in finance and love the mix. It was dedication, passion, perseverance and hard work that made it possible. Now I have a successful, highly-regarded, award winning brand and sell-out workshops. It gives me so much joy to share my knowledge, teach and help other people do the same.
As a chandler I am highly skilled, with a practiced โnoseโ. I discovered that blending oils, knowing what works, and creating heavenly fragrances for luxurious candles and soaps is my superpower. As an accountant specialising in budgeting and forecasting with an Honours Degree in International Business Administration and an Honours Degree in Business Studies, there is rigour behind my approach. I know the ups and downs, the challenges, the legalities etc. inside out. My products and courses have been Highly Commended at the Bexley Business Excellence Awards 2020 and I was a finalist for Best Entrepreneur of the year.
Whether you are working full time, part time, on furlough or unemployed there is always time to learn a new skill and the possibility to run a business that fits your needs and lifestyle. You can do it!

Reviews
My experience with Paula was increasable. I knew nothing about candle making, but wanted to learn about candle making and make it a business. Paula's energetic and kind personality made the course fun and enjoyable, she loves teaching and to give her knowledge and experience to others. With this course I saved so much time rather than learning time by time. One of the best courses in candle making for business.
Response from Old Bexley Soap Co.:
Thank you Kristina, all the best of luck in your business.Paula
If you are starting a candle business, it would be almost impossible without Paulaโs incredible knowledge. I promise you, after being in the forums, I know more in my sessions than people that have been doing it without training for months.
On top of the sheer amount of knowledge, sheโs so super nice and so patient. She explains everything so clearly and it was so enjoyable. I highly recommend the one to one course.
The candle I made is amazing by the way!
Very very happy!
