A New Space - A Greater Vision

Wow we have finally moved in...!

hemp hemp hooray! has a new home and I'd love to share with you all our exciting journey over the past 2 months. It was time to finally move the business out of our home and into a space fit for the further growth of our dream.

The need for more suitable premises and the manifestation of those premises were borne through the frustration felt at the lack of balance between home and business -within 3 days I had found the property and the means to build our purpose built production room. Now the fun had started for Simon (my ever supportive husband). Over the course of a couple of weekends he had prepared the space and built our fantastic facility.

Here is a glimpse of the process.... Simon is unloading the fridge panel for the production room (3) and the blank canvas is seen in photo (4). The floor base is laid (5)


















We now have our dust proof, temperature controlled production room within the warehouse. A credit to Simon and his years of experience - this journey that is life still amazes me as often the paths we choose along the way intertwine bringing their gifts to future endeavours, as is the case with Simon's journey and the skills he brings to my path.

















A small garden area will become a lovely space for our team to enjoy a break or a meal. Again this took some work to clear up and we still have lots of planting and building to do to really beautify it fully. As you can see in the first two photo's it was slightly overgrown with weeds and not very inviting.
















Our new office space was transformed with a clean up and a lick of paint. Thanks Sally, Sue and Jemara for your help and brush work..! It is a lovely space to come to each day and I'm not sure the photo's do it justice.


















So, our new journey begins with a fresh environment and fresh ideas. Can I thank sincerely everyone who has supported me on this path be via family, friendship or business relationships. To all our loyal customers for your belief in what we do and your appreciation for the products we make - it is through your support that we are able to grow and continue with this vision to "Rekindle the Spirit of Natural Beauty within everyone, inspiring love for all humanity..!!
