Three Worcestershire-based entrepreneurs (Betsy Vickery, Alison Larnder and Lizzy Waterhouse) are looking to showcase quality independent British brands with their newly created online marketplace.

Betsy Vickery recognised an opportunity when searching for British made gifts for her 7 year old daughter. She discovered that there were no online  marketplaces for 100% manufactured sustainable British brands.

Consequently, Betsy Vickery teamed up with two friends (Alison and Lizzy) to create an online marketplace to support independent manufacturers access consumers that valued sustainability and quality. Hence, Hope+Story was born. They are now working with over 100 British manufacturers. Well done!
