Prior to starting her own business, Josephine found that she could never really find the right ‘fit’ with her career. She tried out various vocations such as wedding planning, customer service, supply chain management and even bar work – but none of them stuck.
In 2016, she made the decision to start up her own business alongside her full-time job. Brown & Ginger started from humble beginnings in Josephine’s bedroom in a shared house. However, within six months her homewares had been selling quickly and turnover was high enough for Josephine to go part-time and dedicate more time to her business.
Brown & Ginger has since seen huge success and Josephine has relocated to a 1,600 sq ft warehouse with an office and photo studio. Josephine has even been able to employ a member of staff that helps her with creating listings and writing blog posts.
Josephine has gained huge confidence through running her own business and has ambitious plans to grow her team and open a showroom to present Brown & Ginger products, so her customers can feel the quality of the hand-selected items she sells.
Josephine prides herself on her strong feedback scores on eBay, as she makes it her mission to ensure that her customers receive the best service they can.
