Meet the Team
Michael
Founder, scent blender and dog dad
I spend most of my time with my nose in the air following new ideas for our next candle. I am obsessed with Ireland and love heading off to the West Coast with my wee family in the camper and getting ourselves lost for a few days. I love landscape photography & can be blackmailed to do pretty much anything with good food or coffee.
Joe
Incense maker, packaging design and giver of the best hugs
I’m Michael’s husband and fellow beard owner. I help out wherever I can, especially making food to sustain the chief candlemaker, cos I really love to cook. I also make all of the incense, from start to finish, and try to come up with new ideas to bring to our customers. I work fulltime in mental health treatment, so it could be said I burn the candle at both ends.
Gemma
Beardless candle maker, web sale processor, subscriptions coordinator & keeper of everything on track
Joanie
Market Leader
I’m Michael’s Mum and jump in and help at the markets and in the shop. I love all the stories behind the candles and enjoy telling our customers about them. As a little girl my Daddy brought me to the Linen Hall Library and my love of fairy stories began there. Lots of these books I got for Michael and his sister and their love of books and stories, art and illustration grew.
Declan
Michael’s personal security escort
Teddy spends most of his time in the studio either shredding cardboard or standing in front of the electric cardboard shredder and barking at it in disdain. He can sense when someone needs a good cuddle and will kindly appear at your side for said cuddle. Teddy came to us 6 years ago and was found wandering the streets around Newry, dazed and skinny. Happily he landed on his paws with us. He loves nothing more than getting into the Ocean and diving for rocks. He has even made friends with three locals seals at the beach near the house.
Bridie
Crazy yet Beautiful
We welcomed Bridie into our family only a few months ago, like Delcan she had a really rough start in life and still has a way to go. She has the most incredible markings and often stops people in their tracks on the street. She is unbelievably clumsy and is still working out how to stop when she is out running… She falls asleep within moments of getting behind her ears scratched and it's one of the most adorable things we have witnessed. Bridie has the most beautiful nature and watching her blossom into herself is a joy. We are still working out what her role in the company is, as soon as we work it out, we’ll let you know.
