Welcome back! As we explore more partnerships in business, today I’m joined by another husband and wife team - Jill and Steve from Meander.
Meander is a sustainable clothing brand, passionate about making outdoor clothing more accessible, appealing and wearable - clothing that looks just at home in the city as it does on the hillside. They both have a love for adventure, and so, after embarking on a mammoth charity cycle ride from London to Paris, they started a company after realising that there was a gap in the market for a cycling jacket that not only practical but something you actually wanted to wear.
From there, they’ve gone on to develop a whole product range, had a pop up at Space at Seventeen (and check out our episode with Jess from there - Series 1, episode 10 to find out more) and recently opened a permanent space on Edinburgh’s George Street.
We talk about bringing a product to market, what challenges can come with wanting to work more ethically, creating a vibrant community for your customers, and why there’s never been a better time to explore the great outdoors. It was so lovely to chat to them both - You can tell how much they both love what they do and how passionate they are about wanting everyone to experience the beauty of Scotland’s countryside! Enjoy!
