It’s a family business that buys products from China. Joe started working there from age 21. He took over running the business and building a brand from his father aged around 25. They had a Salesforce of 6 selling to brick and mortar stores -gradually, they stopped hitting sales targets, and left the business with high overheads.

Now they have their own online store that does around half the amount of Amazon sales, but the majority of sales are made on Amazon.
