Who is behind Betsy Jones?
Hi, I'm Kirsty Narey. I live in West Yorkshire with my family. I attended De Montfort University in Leicester where I studied Footwear, before going on to a Purchasing Manager's job working for my Dad until 2016.
Why did you set up Betsy Jones?
In 2016, I gave birth to my daughter pre-maturely due to Pre-eclampsia, which resulted in me having PTSD, depression and anxiety. Part way in to my maternity leave I lost my job, and because of the Mental Health issues I was unable to go to job interviews, so what better time to set up the business I always wanted to.
Why is your business called Betsy Jones?
Betsy Jones is my daughters name, I know how creative!
