Cath Conway, Founder of Unpackaged
Unpackaged- the better way for you to buy organic wholefoods and environmentally friendly products for your home.
We believe that most packaging is unnecessary so we’re doing something about it.The result is Unpackaged- the new way for you to shop safe in the knowledge that you’ve not created any waste that’s going to end up in a landfill.
"The coaching programme I undertook with Striding Out has been of significant value to the development of Unpackaged from idea to reality. Having a coach can help on many levels: breaking problems down into manageable pieces, identifying priorities to work on, putting you in touch with the expert advice that's available and offering a different perspective on the challenges you face. "
