Laura Harnett is an entrepreneur and mum of two teenagers.
She is the founder of Seep, a non toxic cleaning range of eco-friendly, plastic-free sponges.
The idea came to Laura in her late 30s when she was recovering from breast cancer treatment, when she realised she wanted to take as many toxins out of her household as possible.
Laura and I talked about her nerve-wracking appearance on Dragons Den, including the rush of adrenalin in the lift and her mind going blank when the lift doors opened! She was successful though, and she talked about the great support she’s had while growing the brand, from her two dragons, Deborah Meadon and Trinny.
She also revealed she has become addicted to checking on how Seep sales are going, through an app on her phone. This has resulted in her teenagers sometimes hiding her phone from her, especially on holiday. I love that role reversal!
Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.
