Danielle was a Silver Award Winner in the Best Green Business category of the 2023 Best Businesswomen Awards.
Danielle was an early learning teacher, but having left the sector, she decided to start an eco-business, Eco-Able, in 2019. In 2022, she opened her shop in Cirencester, selling a multitude of eco-friendly products, and hasn't looked back.
She tells us why she started a green business and how the product range has been diversified to meet her customers' needs.
She has published two children's books with an eco-slant and intends to produce more in the coming years. The merchandise from those books also finds its way into the Eco-Able store.
Danielle has practical advice for all business owners to help make their businesses more sustainable. She believes in making small, incremental changes, suggesting that everyone reviews their business closely and looks for manageable and sustainable change that can be built on over time.
Having won several awards in recent years, Danielle discusses how this has helped her business and why she entered the Best Businesswomen Awards last year.
