THE HUMBLE BEE COMPANY
How it all began ...
Running a small business is deeply personal. It often begins with an idea, a belief, or a desire to do things differently. That passion makes the work more meaningful, but it can also make it more demanding.
​
In 2022, founder Jessie made the decision to step away from the corporate career ladder to build something with real purpose. She wanted to create a business that not only helps small businesses succeed, but also supports women and mums who want to build flexible careers around family life.
With over 10 years of experience in the corporate world, including a successful career as a retail buyer for well-known household brands, she brings a strong foundation in merchandising, planning and data analysis. This background allows her to offer both strategic insight and hands on support across design, digital marketing, branding, and website creation, ensuring businesses feel supported at every stage of their journey.
​
By taking the time to truly understand each business, its values, and its goals, we provide bespoke support that eases the pressure of day-to-day admin and decision-making, giving business owners the space and confidence to focus on what matters most: growth, clarity, and long-term success.
Who we choose to support
We believe small businesses are powerful in their own right. They’re often built on strong values, personal stories and genuine passion. That’s why we choose to work with eco-conscious, ethical and kind-led brands, businesses that truly care about their impact, their products and the people they serve.
A Personal Message From Jessie
There are so many mums who built thriving careers before having children and while becoming a parent changes everything in the best possible way, it also changes how work fits into our lives.
​
With the cost of living rising, nursery fees increasing and family time feeling more precious than ever, many of us don’t want to return to long workdays that mean missing school pick-ups, bedtime routines and the moments that matter most. But the years of experience, skills and knowledge we built before motherhood shouldn’t be lost just because our working hours now look a little different.
​
This is why I created The Humble Bee Company. I wanted to create meaningful, flexible work-from-home opportunities for women, especially mums, while bringing together skilled individuals who can support purpose-driven, eco-conscious businesses. By choosing to work with brands that align with our values, we’re not just supporting businesses; we’re helping create a more thoughtful way of working, one that supports families today and helps build a better future for the children we’re raising.
