Our Story
Right from the start they decided to do things differently. They wanted Callan Candles to be an experience, something that you enjoy from the moment you place your order.
In 2021 Iain and his Family had the pleasure to take over Callan
Kirsty remained the owner of Callan until July 2021, when due to the unprecedented growth of the company and the pressure that put on her own mental health, Kirsty and James decided to pass on Callan Candles to a new owner all in the way in the West Country!
With our new CEO Branston the Setter Cross and Iain at the helm, along with their team we set out to continue the Callan Candles message that Kirsty so lovingly set out for us. Wendy hand pours all the wax with love, following the Kirsty's exact recipes to the letter. We still use many of Kirsty's original suppliers to create the soy wax melts you know and love.
Every day we hear from someone who tells us that they love the melts or that it has helped them get through a difficult time. We hear from people who tell us they are in love with the thing that we have made and sent to them.
Rest assured that everything we produce is made with love. We are still as determined as ever that you have an experience with Callan Candles, rather than just buying a tub of wax. We consider you part of the Callan family, and your support and kind words mean the world to us.
Some of the things that we hold in high regard:
- Everything is hand poured
- We use recycled or recyclable packaging wherever possible
- We use sustainable practices
- We use soy wax with no nasty additives
- We don't use plastic
- Callan Candles is a small business
