Introducing The Kentish Soap Company

Hello everyone! We are new members of Produced in Kent and for our first e-bulletin I thought I’d take the time to introduce us. We are a natural, handmade, family-run soap business. We currently make our soap and other products in West Malling where we live. My name is Emma and I am the daughter of the companies owners Jayne and John. Jayne started our journey back in 2006 when she began making soap as a hobby. She quickly became the queen of soap making amongst our family and friends. They would come to her for all their soap needs and she would happily stock them up with bar after bar of freebies. 5 years past and in 2011 she was running out of people to give the soap too. Our friends and families cupboards had begun to burst at the seams as their supplies over took their needs and it was then my mum had to make a choice; stop making or start selling? Of course her love of the craft made her choose start selling and after a lot of paper work she received her safety assessments and The Kentish Soap Company was born! John recently became part time in his main job and volunteered his spare time to help mum develop our wholesale list and grow our website allowing our products to become more widely available to our customers. We currently stock a range of shops from gift shops to farm shops. After years of helping out at fairs and markets I officially joined the company earlier this year. I now am responsible for our social media pages, our website, writing our blog and assisting in making our products and designing our packaging, which I love! Now together as a family we hope to continue to grow our business and improve our products range in years to come so stick with us for more exciting things coming soon!
