Plush Folly

How did it all start?  Sally spent in excess of 15 years training professionals and startups on a national and international basis in what then became her niche - IT and Investment Banking projects.

In an effort to strike a realistic work/life/family balance, Sally set up Plush Folly in 2O03 and since then has instructed more than 6,000 students through workshops, distance-learning and private classes.

Courses that helped Sally to develop her skills include Cosmetic Science (short course, Royal College of Fashion), Making Perfume (Grasse, France), The Fragrance Sales Programme (The Fragrance Foundation) and the Complete Cosmetic Chemist Natural Formulations Programme (Allured).

Sally's television debut came at Christmas 2010 in the form of perfume making with Kirstie Allsopp on Kirstie & Phil's Perfect Christmas.  

Sally has also acted as consultant for a large film company during their filming of a crime fiction based around an organic soap and toiletry manufacturer.  As well as making natural cosmetics live on BBC Solent radio, Sally worked with a Channel 5 television production team, advising on a formulation for making soap out of  .... well let's just say that the zany science programme featured a man having liposuction....

Life moves on, children grow up and priorities shift hence the big changes to Plush Folly in 2024 allowing Sally free time to get covered in glue, paint and glitter and do what she loves - creating!
