Prior to launching her enterprise, mother-of-two-teenagers, Ginny – worked as a business consultant and a process analyst for 20 years across various industries (such as in finance and local government). Having suffered a number of illnesses, she decided to pursue her long-running dream of running her own business.
“I was searching for a packaging solution for my skincare products that wouldn’t impede on my personal mission to reduce my plastic consumption whilst still having a luxe feel for my premium skincare, but couldn’t find it, so I decided to create The Karry,” concluded Ginny.
Congratulations, Ginny. You deserve it.
