Textile Design BA graduate and Nettle Revolution founder wins the Theo Paphitis, Small Business Sunday Awards

In an inspiring event earlier this year, Jane Gray, Founder and Coach of health and wellbeing company, Nettle Revolution, was honoured with the Theo Paphitis #SBS (Small Business Sunday) Awards. We had the opportunity to chat with Jane about her experience as a mature student on Textile Design BA and how it shaped her success in the industry.

The award was presented by Theo Paphitis, a renowned entrepreneur and former Dragon on the BBC series 'Dragons' Den.' Theo's initiative to support small businesses across the UK offers them a platform to gain visibility and grow, and the ceremony provided Jane with an invaluable opportunity to briefly share her business story and present Theo Paphitis with one of her hand-woven stinging nettle scarves.

This recognition came as a significant milestone for Jane's health initiative, Nettle Revolution, which is a cornerstone of her business dedicated to spreading mindfulness and enhancing personal wellbeing whilst having a positive impact locally and globally - all by taking the 'sting' out of nettles!

Jane expressed her delight, stating, "Winning the Theo Paphitis #SBS Award is like the cherry on the cake; a dream come true."
