About me / About business or organisation:

I have rescued 600 lambs from slaughter and use their wool in my ethical clothes label Izzy Lane. All our wovens are made within a 120 mile radius of where the sheep are kept and will live out their lives in the Yorkshire Dales. Izzy Lane is about giving a voice to animals in the fashion industry and about helping to sustain the British Textile Industry. We also have beautiful handmade shoes, approved by the Vegetarian Society, in faux snakes and faux croc.

Career history / Company history:

I was in lots of different indie bands, playing bass guitar, saxophone, singing and songwriting. Then in 1994 started the first organic box scheme, farmaorund, which I still own. In 2007 I started Izzy Lane.
