MEET THE TEAM
FOUNDER
SUZIE
Founder of SELF.uk and the ultimate self-care queen, Suzie is our ‘boss lady’. A few words to describe the Queen of SELF would be dynamic, driven, kind, fun, generous, tasteful, inspirational, creative and smart. Plus, beyond all else she cares about everything and everyone in her life. Suzie is quite simply cherished by all those blessed to know her. You can find Suzie in our Woodhall Spa, Lincoln, and Harrogate boutiques.

WHAT DOES SELF MEAN TO ME?
"When one door closes in your life another one opens and that door was SELF, and stepping over that threshold was like a warm hug. It has truly been the best experience, being part of the SELF team/family is so fulfilling. When you get to a certain age in life you become rather anonymous, this job has given me my identity back, I have also made solid friendships with the fabulous team which is priceless. So I just want to say thank you Suzie B."

Marie will always strive to go above and beyond for her fellow team members and customers and that’s why we love her so much.
WHAT DOES SELF MEAN TO ME?
"SELF to me is my creative happy place. It gives me a sense of self purpose alongside being a single mum. Along with my son, SELF is part of my daily enrichment. It tops up my creative bottle and much more. I’m a better person when I go home for enjoying my days with other team members too. Sharing is caring and caring is sharing."

I’ve cried, I’ve laughed, I’ve listened, I’ve built new friendships, I love chatting and listening to customers stories, some happy and some really sad, but above all, I’m happy and I love it! Suzie has created such a beautiful space that I’m proud to call work."

LISA
Boutique Assistant & Stylist.
WHAT DOES SELF MEAN TO ME?
"To me SELF is therapy, it’s helped with my grief, it’s an escape from the stresses of keeping a family and house shipshape! It has restored my faith in employment and above all it gives me a feeling of belonging, and what a great company and team of ladies to belong to. All wanting to offer the same excellent service as they respect and love their boss and love their customers too. I remember the feelings evoked in me the first time I set foot in the Harrogate store and want all customers old and new to get the same feels each and every time they visit SELF."
