Introduction
I am an artisan candlemaker and every candle you purchase has been handmade by me with no automation whatsoever. Running alongside my ‘day job’ as an Executive Coach and Leadership Expert (I have a background in Behavioural Psychology and for a much fuller biography click here) I started Clive’s Candles a few years ago to provide a change in career direction – albeit part time. Well this ‘part time’ business is now my full time job!
I started out by making just one small, smelly candle and following requests from friends and family to create more candles the business was born in 2014. I am really proud of my ‘handmade in UK’ badge and try to source UK products wherever I can. It really is a family business with my wife and two sons all helping to contribute ‘candle ideas’ and pack candles in their presentation bags - great family ‘fun’!
Sunday mornings (when we are not exhibiting at Shows) are usually spent scouring Antique Fairs, Auctions Car Boots, Flea Markets etc. to source containers for The Eclectic Collection and it is this sourcing that makes this collection very unique and individual.
So Clive’s Candles has grown from one small, smelly candle to what you see here:
• 19 scented ‘Candle’s In A Tin’
• 11 scented ‘Small Collection’ candles
• The Christmas Collection – 6 Tins & 3 Small candles
• Candle Gift Hampers
• Personalised Wedding Favours
• Personalised Pillar Candles
• The Eclectic Collection
• Candle Gift Ideas – Table Centrepieces etc.
• Candles for Business Gifts and Corporate Events
In summary, each candle is:
• Handmade near Burton on Trent
• Unique
• Individual
• Made with as much care that I can give it
• Made from British materials whenever possible
