A candlemaker based near Haslemere has struck up a glowing partnership with a chain of garden centres.

Lower Lodge Candles has begun stocking Squire’s Garden Centres with its high-quality vegan products with the firm’s Botanical range now appearing on shelves.

The family-run business was founded in 2011 by now-managing director, Daniella Thompson, with the support of her mother, Louise.

The firm produces candles that represent “affordable luxury” while the pair share many values, from their family roots to their joint vision for excellence and sustainability.

“Working with Lower Lodge Candles is an absolute joy,” said Jenny Middleton, Squire’s gifts buyer.

“Their commitment to sustainability, quality and ethical sourcing mirrors beautifully with Squire’s ethos.”

“We’re thrilled to partner with Squire’s, who share our values and our mission to bring joy into people’s homes with high-quality, sustainable products,” said Danielle, who is pleased to find a large local supplier for their products “made with love and care”.
