Once you have read the story, the reader can cut off the back page, plant it in soil, and water it every day to grow real vegetables and herbs. The company appeared on Dragons’ Den in May and has received investment from crafting queen and Strictly Come Dancing star Sara Davies. Since then, it has grown to five titles (carrot, lettuce, basil, dill and parsley), with plans to grow another 15. The company feels passionately that it wants to get children into the garden to learn about nature, food sourcing and sustainability. STAND: 5F28 ST EVAL www.st-eval.com Nestled on its working farm in North Cornwall, St Eval Candle Company was born from humble beginnings, crafting candles by hand in the family farmhouse kitchen. Keen to keep traditional crafts alive and with its spirits rooted in all things natural, the team sought inspiration from its beautiful surroundings in the Cornish countryside; creating pots, candles and fragrances inspired by nature. The company creates its own blends of wax and fragrance to ensure a consistent aroma, superior burn quality and beautiful appearance. The waxes are a combination of mineral and vegetable waxes, which it blends together to achieve a mix that gives superior performance, stability and reliability, and a fabulous scent throw. The wax used is of a ‘food grade’ quality, such as the wax found on cheese, and does not contain any animal products. STAND: 4H80 HOT TOMATO T: +44 (0)1225 422 188 E: sales@hot-tom.com www.hot-tom.com Combining her creative edge with an eye for trends, founder and former agent Alex Machin set up Hot Tomato with her husband in 2007. Still collaborating with some of their original suppliers today, they continue to design and source wonderful and affordable fashion accessories that offer a genuine point of difference in store. Alex says, “This new season has proved the greatest challenge. And it is those trusted, established relationships with our suppliers that has truly shone through. The lack of being able to travel has meant we all have to find new ways of working together – these are exciting times, on many levels!” Hot Tomato has been busy behind the scenes, resulting in a raft of new designs all primed for launch at the show. Alex continues, “One of our key strategies has been to maintain those crucial go-to price points. While still offering our customers the opportunity of a decent margin without compromising on quality and design. It’s been a juggling act but we could not be more thrilled with the end result and are super excited to be launching so many new designs across all categories of fashion accessories at the show – beat a path to Hall 7 at the show to avoid disappointment!” STAND: Hall 7, stand A71
