| Why Michael's Originals?
WHO FOUNDED MICHAEL'S ORIGINALS? Ben and Nancy are the founders and owners of Michael's Originals. Nancy is from the Philippines and came to live in the UK when she was a child. Ben is British and trained as a chef, briefly overlapping with Jamie Oliver when he was starting out at The River Cafe. After over 20 years of working in catering, he wanted a change of direction. Whilst visiting Nancy's family in the Philippines, he noticed how they used luffas as washing-up scourers. In fact luffas are grown as a vegetable and it is only when they go to seed that they become the tough items we are familiar with. They brought some luffas back with them after their visit, and sold them as washing-up pads in Brighton on the Sunday market. They sold well and on the strength of this contacted us about becoming their distributor. Following a few months of meetings in Brighton, everything was agreed and Ben and Nancy left for the Philippines for their new life as farmers. The products are named after their son, Michael. WHY USE MICHAEL'S ORIGINALS? The Michael's Originals range was developed to give you a 100% biodegradable alternative to plastic washing-up and cleaning utensils. We have tested the products extensively and have been amazed at how effective and durable they are. With this range at hand, there is no need for plastic alternatives. Below is a list of the reasons why you should consider using them.
