Kerry Mackay, ScrubbiesUK

Scrubbies are a home-compostable alternative to the plastic sponge. Created by Kerry Mackay in Wrexham, North Wales, ScrubbiesUK has won three national business awards, sold over 120,000 Scrubbies worldwide and pulled a struggling single mum out of food bank poverty.
While running ScrubbiesUK from her living room, Kerry is now also a full time student with the Open University, studying for a degree in Environmental Science as well as home-educating her 13 year old son.
