Lovely to meet you, I'm Justine, owner and designer.

 

Having a maker Mum and Nana encouraged me from an early age to use my creativity and imagination.  I’ve always been fascinated with fabric and textiles, colour and light, and have an abiding love of fashion.

 

Creative industries weren’t exactly encouraged when I was at school so my career path to now has been quite diverse; including a nightclub bouncer, a stint in a factory packing boxes, and running a bistro! I’ve spent 15 years in the corporate world in organisational and business development - gaining all the skills I needed to start out on my own business.  Alongside the shop, I also teach leadership skills at a foundation degree level (get in touch if you'd like to know more!).

​

I started Fox & Bee in the summer of 2019 and since then I've been able to grow, employ local people, move to a bigger shop and re-brand.  I'm supported by some truly great people, providing all the necessary love, laughter, tea and biscuits (by the bucket load!) along the way.
