BECO join me for today’s episode to talk about their social enterprise in Walthamstow, London. Making various organic soaps, their work force comprises over 80% blind, disabled and disadvantaged people. 


Camilla Marcus-Dew, co-founder, shares her reasons for starting the business and her thoughts on the power of social enterprise. And Michael, one of the BECO team members, shares his experience of working within the team.


BECO are truly one of the loveliest teams I’ve ever come across – this story inspired the entire podcast. If you like this episode, please tell your friends about BECO. They really deserve the love.
