Alcester-based family firm Shakespeare Candle Company wins Best Artisanal Business at the 2024 Warwickshire Regional Awards
Alcester-based family business Shakespeare Candle Company has won Best Artisanal Business at the 2024 Warwickshire Regional Awards.
Known for its handcrafted candles inspired by Shakespeare, the family business was launched by mum-of-two Caroline Jordan in 2023, with support from husband James.
“We are thrilled to receive this recognition,” said Caroline. “Our passion for creating exquisite home fragrances, inspired by the works of Shakespeare, has been the driving force behind our success.”
The company’s products include candles and melts in ranges such as Tempest and Midsummer - inspired by the themes of the plays - which are crafted in their Warwickshire workshop and include scents inspired by the Bard and elegantly designed packaging.
"I wanted to create a brand that would bring Shakespeare's timeless works to life through the senses," continued Caroline. "My candles and wax melts are not just about filling a room with fragrance; they're about connecting people to homes, favourite places, special people or providing a sensory experience that transports you to a different time and place.
“We owe our success to our dedicated team, loyal customers, and the rich cultural heritage of Warwickshire,” added Caroline. “This award is a testament to their unwavering support.”
