Gayle Foster, the owner of Vintage by the Tower in Corbridge, has been invited to the House of Lords as part of Small Business Britain. Gail has been dedicated to increasing the sustainability of her business, whilst also learning more about the environmental impact of running a small business, by taking additional classes.

As any regular readers of mine know, I’m really interested in sustainability, particularly when it comes to clothing, so it’s really exciting to find more business owners dedicated to increasing their sustainability. I love vintage clothing, and preloved clothing, because you can find items that are going to last and last and last, rather than be just thrown away after a few wears, or when a minor repair is needed.

Anyway, congratulations to Gail for the recognition of her hard work, and I hope she has a great time down in London!
