About Us

Hi, and Welcome to Just Wicks. We're a small business based in South Yorkshire. Est. 2017.

How It All Began

I've always loved home fragrance ever since being a kid — I remember visiting a Yankee Candle shop in Bridlington with my Mum and Auntie and being completely amazed by all the different fragrances!

Fast forward to September 2017: I decided to try making my own candles, partly to stop spending so much on big-brand candles (we'd just moved into our first home and money was a little tight), and partly to give myself a hobby.

I started giving them out to friends and family as gifts — and they quickly started asking if they could buy them! They proved so popular that in 2018 we re-branded and re-launched as a proper business rather than a little hobby.

In July 2019, we launched our website to keep up with demand, offer delivery, and give customers a safe way to pay online.

Then in April 2021, Just Wicks became my full-time job. It was a big leap — but one I've never looked back on. Putting 100% into every product, every single day, is something I'm incredibly proud of.

Since then, Just Wicks has grown beyond anything I imagined when I was melting wax in the kitchen. We now serve customers right across the UK, with Wax Melts as our most popular product, and we're always developing new fragrances and products to bring you the very best in home fragrance.

About Our Products

I work hard behind the scenes sourcing the best quality ingredients I can, whilst keeping prices as accessible as possible. Our products are made with high-quality fragrances — many of which are vegan friendly — and we use eco-friendly soy wax that's beautifully soft and creamy.

Everything is hand poured, blended, and made right here in South Yorkshire. I pride myself on every single thing we produce, and I'm certain you'll love filling your home with our long-lasting, outstanding fragrances.

Environmentally Conscious

Sustainability matters deeply to us. From our eco-friendly soy wax and biodegradable potato starch packing peanuts, to our refill programme for Reed Diffusers, Car Diffusers, and Home Cologne — we're always looking for ways to do better by the planet.

We also run our Imperfect Melts programme to make sure zero wax ever goes to waste, and we reuse boxes, bubble wrap, and packaging materials wherever we can.

Meet The Team

Just Wicks is very much a small, personal business — and that's exactly how we like it. Here's the crew keeping things running:

Tom - Director
Tom — Director

You'll find me on a daily basis making your products by hand, packing orders, sourcing ingredients, keeping the website running smoothly, and helping with all customer queries. Just Wicks is my passion and I pour everything into it!

Frank - Creative Manager
Frank — Creative Manager

Frank works super hard behind the scenes, mainly on our personalised products — cutting and applying vinyl to your orders, and helping source new and exciting products for the range.

Mabel - Warehouse & Dispatch Supervisor
Mabel — Warehouse & Dispatch Supervisor

I'd say Mabel works super hard, but she's usually asleep unless there are belly rubs involved. She makes sure the products smell amazing and oversees dispatch and restocking — in her own way.

Lincoln - Apprentice

Lincoln — Apprentice

Lincoln's the youngest member of the team and is slowly learning the ropes. So far he's head of quality-testing packing peanuts — mostly by chewing them. We're working on it.
