What do you love about the work you do?

We love helping people! It’s so rewarding to hear customers tell us how something they’ve bought from us has helped them sleep better, reduce their stress, feel more confident – whatever it is!

How did you end up in your vocation?

Paul is a qualified coach and almost qualified counsellor, and self-development is one of his passions. Shaun has worked in retail for most of his career, so when we met, we decided to combine the two and create Spiffy! We’ve both suffered with mental health issues throughout our life so we wanted to give something back and share what we’ve learnt with the world.
