Let’s Talk Shop with Carina Lawson from Ponderlily

In this episode of Let’s Talk Shop I speak with Carina Lawson who’s the founder of Ponderlily. An Eco-friendly stationery brand based in the Newcastle area.

In Carina’s introduction, it sounds like she says that the business started in 2007, that should be 2017 and 2018.

I really admire that Carina has built her business whilst working full time and raising twins. We spoke about:

- Building a business that is sustainable to Carina’s lifestyle.

- Building a family business and how that happened.

- Wholesaling and building relationships with your stockists.

- Tradeshows and Carina’s top tips.

- How there really is room for everyone and how we need to help each other as a community.

- What’s next for Ponderlily and much more.
