Our Founders
The 2 founders, Matthew and Catherine meet in 2006. This was a joining of 2 people with similar ideals and viewpoints on the world. Both founders had taken a similar path in life with starting their self-employment and business ownership paths many years prior to meeting.
There has since been a combination of companies that both Matthew and Catherine have been involved with together across a wide range of industries. From this background and skill set, it was a natural progression to work on a project/concept for the betterment of children.
