Tutor

Miller and Ward

Miller & Ward is a small fine home fragrance business, based in Cambridge and Norfolk. The company was started by cousins, Julie and Carole, when discussing just how much we were spending on well-known brand candles. We decided that with training and enthusiasm we would surely be able to produce premium candles at affordable prices. Fast forward two years of courses, research and testing Miller & Ward was finally launched.
