Founder and Managing Director of Cheeky Wipes, who have been specialising in sustainable alternatives to single-use products since 2008, including reusable wipes, nappies and period products. The company has grown from being a garage start-up run by Helen's lovely in-laws to turning over 4.5 million pounds in 2020. Since 2016 alone, we have saved over 80 million single-use products from landfill - something we are very proud of. In 2021, Cheeky Wipes was awarded the prestigious Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the category of Sustainable Development.
In her ‘spare time’, Helen also works with schools, councils and childcare facilities to educate about reusables and get products into their hands for trial and support of their students and staff.
