Poppy Forrest Kraft was created whilst I was on maternity leave with my first daughter Daisy. Having Daisy made me determined to find a job that I would enjoy and allowed me to spend more time with my family (as well as pay the bills!). With a background in event management, marketing and design, plus a passion for all things pretty and crafty - I thought what better than to set up my own events c
raft business! By 2019, my second daughter Lily had been born and the business had grown to a point where I really needed a second pair of hands. At this point, my mum officially came on board to assist with admin and production (and unofficially to help run after the girls!). Then 2020 came along (boo!) and my husband who had been working as a builder for 10 years was forced to put down the tools and stay put at home. Lockdown gave us plenty of time to reflect and with Poppy Forrest Kraft fortunately still doing well, we decided to take a gamble...Matt quit his job and joined the PFK team full time! By 2021, PFK was stronger than ever but I knew there was still room for us to up our game and really start to market our products. Luckily my little sister is a marketing whizz, and after a few months of persuasion I got her onboard as well! All of our products are designed and made at home by either myself (Poppy), Matt, Georgina or Freya. Our aim is to make special gifts for life's special moments with a focus on affordability and sustainability :) x
