A 9 year old Neve Macken posed a question 14 years ago about beekeeping… what grew from that moment set in motion a bee-auty brand with a difference.

Neve’s Bees is the brainchild of Julie and Ross Macken’s real life child, and its soaring success hasn’t cost their integrity. Far from it; they’ve built it to work their way.

This episode covers:

  • Neve’s Bees’ mission to prioritise skin health and sustainability over profit margins
  • Transitions from high-powered corporate careers to a meaningful, purpose-driven endeavour
  • Ross & Julie’s decision to grow the business organically, staying true to their original vision
