Natural Baby Shower was founded in 2006 by Surrey-based couple Victoria Hampson and Clifton Vaughan. The company disrupted the traditional baby industry by starting one of the first eCommerce websites of its kind, selling handpicked baby and parenting brands to the UK market.
When they had their first child in New Zealand, Victoria attended a baby shower organised by friends. There she noticed that the process, the products, and the approach to nurturing children, was something new.
“She really enjoyed it, and it sowed a seed about the products and the style,” CEO Clifton says.’’
Returning to the UK, it was clear to them that the products they’d seen were not available.
‘’There was a lot of innovation coming into the industry, and we were taking these brands on, getting them sold, and then growing them,’’ Clifton says.
The business that started from a bedroom has grown exponentially. Today it employs 75 people, and ships around 300,000 parcels a year from its Bracknell distribution centre.
