JULIE MATHERS ON ETHICAL RETAILING, WHY #GIRLBOSS ISN’T HELPING

Julie Mathers started Flora and Fauna (F&F) in late 2014 and it was driven by a desire to be the most ethical retailer possible with the BEST customer service. Mathers is a super proud vegan, has an adorable pet pig and is a self confessed workaholic. 

Mathers started the business four years ago after 25 years of working in retail. The business has seen major success and recently won Best Small Independent Retailer at the ORIAS.

“We were thrilled to receive this . It’s huge for us, our team and most importantly ethical retailing. I talk a lot around getting responsible retailing on the map so it is fantastic to have a BCorp business winning this award. It’s great to stop and reflect and then you get back to work very quickly,” she says.

“I have always had a deep drive to improve how we treat our planet and the animals that live on it hence F&F was born and now we are BCorp Certified and have over 5000 cruelty free and vegan products,” she says.
