About us
Hi, I’m Hazel! Thanks so much for taking the time to read my story. Firstly I feel I should explain my awkward pose in this photograph! I’m pretty tall (178cm actually) and the photographer was struggling to get the right angle so I said I’d help by crouching down! Turns out it doesn’t really make for a good pose! But anyway, I want to explain a little bit about myself and why I decided to set up Little Eco Shop. I’ve always been “eco-conscious” and I owe this to my mum. She always taught me to be resourceful and mindful of what I consume and for this I am grateful. I’ve carried it with me and ultimately it has led me here, opening my very own Little Eco Shop. I want to pass on that mantra to as many people as I can so that future generations don’t suffer from our mistakes. Prior to setting up Little Eco Shop I worked as an environmental scientist within a team of contaminated land specialists. As much as I enjoyed my role, it wasn’t the right role for me during that stage of my life (juggling 2 young kids and a travelling husband) so I decided to leap into the unknown and pursue my dream of running my own online eco store. But I shouldn’t take all the credit. My husband, Ian, has put in as much work as I have. He is my sounding board, my website designer and my accountant all rolled into one!
