Dear all,
I hope you're all doing well! It's been a while since we were last in touch, so I wanted to share a quick winter update.
Christmas 2026
We've had lots of lovely messages asking whether we'll be re-opening for the winter season. It's been a tough decision but, sadly, we won't be re-opening for Christmas this year.
What I've been up to
Many of you have been with us since I started Super Duper Candle Company at sixth form, so I thought you might like to hear what's happened since. Your support helped us reach £40,000 in sales in our first year, deliver candles across the UK, Europe, the USA and Canada, and earn a 4.9 out of 5 "Excellent" rating on Trustpilot. I'm still incredibly proud of that, and grateful to every one of you who placed an order or left a review.
Since then, I've graduated from the University of York with First Class Honours in Business & Management and joined Dunelm's Supply Chain Graduate Scheme. I'm now a Commercial Transformation Lead there, helping bring new technology into stores to improve the experience for customers and colleagues. Running the candle business sparked a real love for building things people enjoy using, and that's stayed with me ever since.
Staying in touch
Our email subscribers will always be the first to know if we re-open, so if you'd love to see us back, make sure you're on our mailing list.
Thank you all for your kind wishes and support for our small business. It really has meant the world.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Elliot
Founder, Super Duper Candle Company
