9: Celia Hodson - Founder of Hey Girls

Sitting around the table with her two daughters, Celia reflected on how hard it was for her raising three kids as a single mum on benefits. Determined to do something to help end period poverty, the three contemplated how they could make an impact. And so Hey Girls was born. In 2018, Celia and her daughters launched their social enterprise selling period products on a 'buy one, give one' donation model. 3 years on, and nearly 15 million products have been donated to families in need in the UK. We talk to Celia about how her purpose is her guiding light, the trials and tribulations of going up against sanitary-giants like Tampax, and how she says Hey Girls do it better. Plus, we got the low-down on how to create a work environment for your team to encourage positive challenges and better working.
