Have a listen to Rosey Barnet, Creative Director at Shearer Candles when she spoke to Gillian Sharpe at BBC Radio Scotland about the company history, candle making processes and the future of candles in the UK.
Shearer Candles / About Author
Founded in 1897 by Mr Shearer and Mr Harvey on the outskirts of Glasgow, Shearer Candles is the UK's longest established lifestyle candle company. Messrs Shearer and Harvey had worked as chandlers in the Candleriggs district, historically the heart of candle making. At that time, customers still bought their ingredients before the candles were made to order.
