ASHLEIGH BRITTEN ROUNDS UP THE INSPIRING ENTREPRENEURS SETTING THE SCENE FOR SMALL BUSINESS SUCCESS IN KENT .
Reign Studio
Reign Studio is the brainchild of founder Kuku who came up with the business idea while away on a honeymoon in Thailand . She had bought swimsuits for the trip but had made the rookie error of not trying them on before leaving and spent the entirety of the holiday feeling extremely uncomfortable and unconfident in them . Starting a swimsuit brand was a mere thought for her while lying on a sunbed ; little did she know she would own her own successful swimsuit business some years later , selling swimsuits to women worldwide .
Now , her successful Kent business focuses on making women with fuller busts feel comfortable and super confident in their swimwear . Exclusively designed for bustier gals , the collection is DD + approved and is perfect for a poolside holiday , spa retreat , or those chilled sunny summer days at home . The trendy collection provides support without compromising style and has unique design features for all shapes and sizes . If someone was looking for a classic triangle bikini that was customised to fit a larger bust or a bralette for lounging around in a home , Reign Studio has the answer - and the most supportive fit !

Concept : Skin
Concept : Skin was founded by Chioma Esther Copeman , who developed the skincare brand following her struggle to find skin products that were nourishing and re-energising . She found it exceedingly difficult to find products that were suitable for her skin type , made her feel good , and didn ’ t cost the earth . After extensive research and not getting very far , she came up with the idea of producing her own skincare brand . Having a background in pharmaceutical chemistry and being an active practicing pharmacist for 20 years , it seemed the obvious next step to use her knowledge to start creating her own natural products .
At Concept : Skin , Esther curates and blends natural ingredients to form organic formulas that nourish your skin , clear your mind and lift your soul , and are vegan-friendly . The range of products includes lotions , body and bath oils , bath salts , soaps , serums and candles - the latest addition to the range . Esther loves her business ; the design and creation of the products for her are magical , and the feeling when you use them and they glide over your skin is even better . She hopes to expand the range and keep supplying people with the skincare they have always been missing .
