I am the co-founder of Solar Buddies, the world’s first child-friendly, refillable sunscreen applicator. What started as a simple idea to make applying sunscreen fun and easy for kids has grown into a mission I’m deeply passionate about: protecting young skin, educating families about sun safety, and promoting sustainability. Our journey captured national attention when my co-founder Kelli Aspland, and I appeared on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, securing investment from Peter Jones and Deborah Meaden. Today, Solar Buddies holds patents and trademarks worldwide, ensuring our innovative design continues to empower children to apply sunscreen independently. Solar Buddies is stocked in major retailers across the UK, USA, and Europe, supported by a growing network of global distributors. Reaching more families means we can spread our sun-safety message further than ever. Recognised nationally as one of the UK’s Top 100 Fastest-Growing Companies (The Sunday Times 100, 2025), we are expanding the brand’s reach with the launch of FY! Discovered, a sunless tanning range that opens new markets for the company. Beyond Solar Buddies, I’m committed to empowering other entrepreneurs at the start of their journey and beyond. I believe sharing knowledge and experience is something every good business leader should be happy to do, helping others turn their ideas into reality.
