Sustainable and resuable handcrafted candels.
Founder(s) name: Archita Tripathi and Jigar Jigar
Company Name: Foxwood & Bramble
Industry Sector: Home Decor
Our Brand/Product: We make sustainable, safer and reusable handcrafted candles, and scented wax sachets. We make money by the online sales of our product on our website.
Our Story: We realised In the UK alone every year, over 360 million candles are sold, most ending up in landfills due to mixed materials. The real problem is the boring jar itself - coated in leftover wax, making it nearly impossible to reuse or recycle. It’s not beautiful enough to keep, and not functional enough to repurpose.
At Foxwood & Bramble, we’ve reimagined what a candle can be - not just a source of scent, but an object of lasting beauty. Our design isn’t just sustainable, it adds to the beauty of your home.
Our products have been live on our website since March and we have around 300 paying customers so far and growing.
Next Phase: We are seeking a place on UoB Elevate because it offers the structured, resource-rich environment necessary to convert our early-stage start-up into a high-growth business. The incubator’s 12-month programme provides targeted mentorship, essential workspace, and practical learning to fill the gaps that independent founders like us often struggle with. Access to The Exchange will boost our operational credibility, support business development from day one, and provide a strong network that can directly support our sales pipeline. Moreover, the funding opportunities, investor readiness support, and access to a thriving entrepreneurial community will significantly increase our chances of sustainable growth. The programme’s proven success in launching ventures makes it the ideal platform for the stage our business is in, and we are ready to make the most of it.
Get Involved: We do need investment of around £55,000 which will be invested in Marketing (40%), Inventory (25%), Operations (30%), Miscellaneous (5%).
