Guest Biography:

Fourteen years ago, Samantha Skyring took a bold leap of faith, selling her home to purchase 34 tons of salt. As a single mother rebuilding her life, she packed the salt herself from a rented cottage, determined to create something meaningful. That determination led to Oryx Desert Salt, a globally recognized brand known for its purity, sustainability, and social impact.

Inspired by her travels—including a 75-mile trek through the Namib Desert, where she encountered the elusive oryx gazelle—Samantha launched Oryx Desert Salt in 2010. What began as a one-woman operation has grown into an international enterprise, employing 25-35 staff and exporting to markets like the USA. Her journey is a testament to resilience, vision, and the power of a single daring decision to transform lives.
