Oh my goodness did I enjoy this week's chat!Having launched Spectrum back in 2014 from their garage in Barry, South Wales, Sophie and Hannah have gone on to grow the business into a globally recognised brand that has partnered with the likes of Disney and Paramount Pictures (to name but a few) and is stored in hundreds of stores worldwide...(Use the code SHECAN20 for 20% off all Spectrum products if you're interested in seeing what all the fuss is about! This offer expires on Tuesday 13th April!)Given that they were once told that in order to be successful, they must move to London, I caught up with Sophie and Hannah at the end of last year to find out all the nitty gritty details they've pushed through behind the scenes to build what is now a multi-million pound company!Covering everything from how they dealt with a warehouse fire that destroyed thousands of pounds worth of stock; their advice for how to scale sustainably and why Wales will always be Spectrum's home. Not to mention, how they held their nerve when people doubted their ability to scale, what their first year of sales looked like (I'm so grateful for their honesty here!) and how Covid impacted the business... I loved, loved, loved recording this one, I have so much respect for them both so I really do hope you enjoy it. This is Sophie and Hannah's story so far!Say hello to our new sponsor, Pleo...The She can.

Episode 2 - with Sophie and Hannah Pycroft, Co-Founders of Spectrum Collections

listen on itunes listen on acast This episode of the show was recorded live at the Birchbox x Oliver Bonas Co-Working space in London on September 7th. Hannah and Sophie Pycroft from Spectrum Collections joined me to talk about their brand of makeup brushes and accessories that has taken social media by storm. The business was an idea born by the pool on holiday, but it hasn't been plain sailing and the sisters talk to me about sticking with it, even when it didn't seem like the best idea, and how a business advisor couldn't quite believe their plans... We talk challenges in business, packing orders in a windowless garage surviving on chocolate biscuits and coffee and why you have to turn everything - even a warehouse fire that destroys all your stock - into a positive.  They also tell me about their best-seller The Glam Clam and the unusual moment when it was born.  To subscribe to Birchbox, the UK's No. 1 Beauty Box, click here &gt;&gt; Birchbox Subscription.

The Live Show: Sophie and Hannah Pycroft

Sophie and Hannah Pycroft are the sisters who co-founded the now Instagram-famous cosmetics brush brand Spectrum Collections. With no financial backing or previous knowledge of running a beauty brand, Sophie and Hannah worked tirelessly to establish their now global brand from their garage in Wales – because they had full belief that they would make a success of it.Skip forward only a couple of years and they’ve just announced the launch of their collaboration with the Mean Girls franchise, Spectrum is now said to be worth around £8million, and their Instagram account boasting over 230,000 followers – all because they identified a gap in the market for fun, luxurious, vegan cosmetics brushes and accessories that were like nothing the industry had seen before.We discuss self-belief, hard work paying off, learning to say no, generating unique ideas and being taken seriously in business as women who love pink and sparkles.   Follow Spectrum on Twitter: @spectrumcollectionsFollow Spectrum on Instagram: @spectrumcollectionsCheck out Spectrum Collections online: www.spectrumcollections.com Discover Hayley's Blog: www.londonbeautyqueen.com  Follow Hayley on Twitter: @LBQblog Follow Hayley on Instagram: @LBQblog  CONNECT WITH MADE ONLINE, ERM, ONLINE!  Website: www.madeonlineshow.com Twitter: @madeonlineshow  NEW EPISODE EVERY WEDNESDAY
