A brilliant tutor, Paula made the class interesting, it was informative and fun. She answered questions and made everyone feel comfortable. Looking forward to doing another course soon.

I learned a lot about soap makong and made lots of notes which I will refer back to. I feel confident that I will be able to safely make soap. I felt that there were too many people for the small room, with lots of people asking questions about commercial soapmaking. I would have preferred a smaller group, maybe just for people interested in soapmaking for personal use. There is another course about the business aspect but too many attendees just wanted to hijack this course.

I recently attended the course 'How to start a profitable candle business' and would highly recommend it; it gave me a whole range of very useful information to go away with, many things I would never have thought about on my own. Thank you Paula!

Paula has invaluable experience and knowledge of running a successful business and her courses are a must for anyone who's serious about starting their own candle business journey. The training was at a good pace and in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which is particularly helpful when running through the technical compliance areas of the course. Thank you Paula for a great start to my start-up journey!

A thoroughly enjoyable, therapeutic and well structured course ! Paula has a tremendous amount of knowledge and advice and I definitely feel that I have developed more of an understanding of candle making. I am now planning to put what I have learnt into practice and hope to go onto the business training course to further enhance this. Thank you for a wonderful day, really happy with my candles and can’t wait to fill my home with the beautiful aromas !!

Having attended four courses including container candles, pillar candles, soap and lastly natural skincare, I would very highly recommend. I can't wait to attend a candle compliance course with Paula and Rosa in 2025! Teaching and hospitality is outstanding. Thank you!

I recently attended a candle-making course with Old Bexley Company, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! Paula, the owner, is not only knowledgeable but also so warm and welcoming. The course was well-organized and informative, covering everything from choosing the right wax to blending scents and pouring techniques. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable, making it a perfect activity for a creative day out. By the end of the class, I left with beautiful, handmade candles and the confidence to try making them at home. I highly recommend Paula and Old Bexley Company to anyone interested in learning the art of candle-making. It was truly a memorable experience!

This was my second course & I loved it just as much as the soap making course. Friendly, fun & relaxed atmosphere with great instruction from the lovely Paula. Came home with fab body butter, lip balm & facial oil. Can’t wait to make more at home & will definitely be signing up for another course soon!
Sara
A really enjoyable and insightful course. Paula was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and welcoming. I now feel empowered and excited to continue making soaps and other items for my own brand knowing the ins and outs of safely making nice formulations and following compliance. Definitely recommend
