Scrubs up well

More than 70% of The Soap Co’s workforce have a disability or come from a disadvantaged background.

The company, which employs about 100 people across the UK and helps them to adapt their disability to the workplace, plans to create a further 60 jobs for disabled and disadvantaged people each year.  

First opening as a small shop in the Lake District, The Soap Co is now launching as a social enterprise brand with a range of soaps and lotions crafted from sustainable and locally sourced ingredients.
