Meet Laura Hardy at Glamble Gifts & Accessories, a cosmetics retail business at Amble Harbour Village.
​
I sell a wide range of products in a tiny space, some of which I make myself, including bath bombs and soaps and others I source from a variety of different suppliers,.
​
Why do you think it is important to Shop Local?
​
It’s extremely important to shop local when you can, as it really does give us shop owners such a boost, not only financially but emotionally too. I invest so much time into making something, in the hope that someone else likes it too, so when someone buys something that I’ve made, or even if it’s a product I’ve sourced it’s a great feeling when you get feedback that they loved it.
What do you love about your job?
​
Everything! The Harbour Village is such a unique place to work that it almost doesn’t feel like a job sometimes. There’s also not many workplaces with a view like ours! I love every aspect of my job, from chatting to the customers, to making the products and there’s just so much a variety it’s a pleasure to come to work.
