A wee shout out to my Artisan ladies. ❤️

These women genuinely care about the business like it’s their own, and I honestly couldn’t ask for more 🙏

From left Jilly (Operations Manager), Tina (Assistant Events Manager), Emily (Sales & Marketing Manager) and Dani (Lead Events Manager) — what a team of amazing humans and no matter what role they are in they all put the aprons on last night and got stuck in 🙌

Last night they came along to support our good friends at the stunning local venue Merryfield, while also representing and supporting the Artisan team. That’s the kind of people they are — always backing others, always showing up, and always giving their all.

I feel incredibly lucky to have these ladies beside me. Their passion, dedication and care are second to none…..

What a team. 🙏❤️

And a big thank you to everyone who came to support Merryfield & Artisan last night ❤️
