“Well, I was nicknamed Holly Hurricane. And that was because I couldn't wait to get to the next stage. So when I, you know, turned, I think it was 12, I persuaded my dad that I needed to get a job in a pub cleaning it. So he would wait outside in the car park at five o'clock in the morning. I don't think I do this for my son, by the way, anymore, but he would wait outside the pub and would pick me up after my shift. I went on and then I just continually worked when my friends weren't working. I decided that, you know, I needed the first mobile phone, you know, one of those bricks. I think it was one-to-one, I think that it only worked in the M25. And so I was just continually pushing it to be grown up or to be out of childhood, I think. And so.”

“Go and pitch the idea of not in the high street to the land of VCs who would tell us that it was lovely that us women wanted to create a crafts website but really there was nothing in it. And I just said, well, we're actually going to change the face of retailing, funny enough, Snorlcraft website. We tried to build a marketplace with no tech experience, but we knew what we wanted. And so we found someone who built the technology that eBay were building in America. And we just relaunched and we nailed it. How could I smile or laugh? I found myself becoming a different version of me. One of the lines at Hollinko is bringing colour to grey. And I think I was turning gray.”
