Yorkshire candlemaker sales on fire with 500 per cent rise in demand

A Yorkshire candle making business has reported that it is investing in its expansion following a 500 per cent rise in demand.

Snug Aromatics, based in Huddersfield, is aiming to double its revenue to £250k as interest in aromatherapy booms during the pandemic.

The company is now on a recruitment drive and is investing in additional storage facilities to support the boom in business.

It has also launched a discounted ‘care package’ to help students living with lockdown restrictions.

Maureen Connor, founder of Snug Aromatics, commented: “People are worried for many reasons just now; avoiding illness, saving their business or job, protecting their families or just loneliness and isolation.

“It’s important to inspire a healthy mind as well as body in these troubled times.

“One of the biggest things that can invoke memories, apart from music, is scent.

“Attached to a memory, it can instantly transport you back to a happy place and moment in time. Scent is more powerful than most people realise.

“Essential oils such as chamomile and lavender are natural sedatives and can relax your mind to help with sleep.”

“In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever to unwind and switch-off. Candles and diffusers are the perfect way to transport yourself to a calmer and more peaceful place and we’ve witnessed a big growth in demand.”
