    In today’s episode I’m talking to David Tovey from Mon Teas.

The business has adapted and evolved over the years and has sold enough loose leaf tea and herbal infusions to make over two million cups of tea!

    In today’s episode I’m talking to Harriet Westcott from Cover Me Baby. Mother of 3 and military wife Harriet Westcott set up her business Cover Me Baby back in 2018. After years of frustration at the number of baby products on the market and the lack of products with multiple uses Harriet designed her own product: the multi-use breastfeeding cover. A 5-in-1 product that can be popped in your changing bag and used for a range of baby admin tasks. In this episode we talk about how having a business idea can come from an everyday problem - Dragon’s Den style! We also chatted about what Harriet’s next steps are and how this year has changed her plans for her business.
