Childs Farm came to life back in 2010 when Joanna Jensen, a devoted mother, faced a challenge that would set her on a life-changing journey. When she found out her two daughters struggled with sensitive and eczema-prone skin, Joanna, like so many parents, was determined to find a solution that would help them feel comfortable and happy in their own skin.

Host James Hurley, Enterprise Editor at The Times, is joined by Ama Amo-Agyei, founder of Plantmade – an organic haircare and wellness brand that aims to get to the root causes of any hair or beard woes. After being made redundant during the Covid-19 pandemic, Ama started the company from home with only £100 – creating a haircare treatment for her alopecia using ingredients inspired by her Ghanaian heritage. Ama continued experimenting with natural ingredients and started selling hair products via Instagram. Within 5 months, she was making 6 figures. Yet Ama was soon drawing on her nascent business skills to survive an existential crisis – a legal threat which saw her suspend operations, rebrand and start all over again. - This is a marketing communication provided for information purposes and is not investment advice or a recommendation.
