Suzie Ford made a bold career change which led to opening the high street store
A woman who began making and selling clothes from her spare bedroom has opened a shop in Beeston, taking on an ‘exciting’ adventure. In 2020 Suzie Ford made a huge career change and began her sustainable clothing brand, Ford & Guy, as an online store on Etsy, a global online marketplace, where people come together to make, sell, buy and collect unique items
Before beginning her brand, Suzie worked in science, travelling the world experimenting with mosquitoes and the dengue virus. During the coronavirus lockdown she took a different career path and began her sustainable and ethical clothing brand in her spare bedroom at home. “I sold a few things and thought ‘maybe I could do this’. We eventually built our own website and that’s where most of our sales are now.”
“I thought if we could get a studio that also had a shop front, then we could try to open up an opportunity for everyone to be able to sell, as well as just us. So it would be mutually beneficial to everyone.”
