So, why is my business called Captain’s Den?
On the 13th August 2010, Captain’s Den registered at Stafford Borough Council. The business concept had been developing some years previously. At first, a venture unfolded that was completely different from what I had been employed in the past to do. Something that I found was a real break from nursing and teaching.
I later decided, to be successful, ‘stick to what you know’. (Advice given from friend’s some year’s back. I took a diploma in Aromatherapy in 2012 and have never looked back.
So, back to the question… why is my business called Captain’s Den…. I named the business after my dad ‘Dennis’. He passed in 2009, knowing about my interest in pursuing a business venture but sadly did not see the venture unfold.
My dad was my inspiration, my motivator, encouraging me every step of the way. Dennis was ‘My Captain’, the captain of our family ship. The inspiration for us all.
Today marks the eighth anniversary physically without him but I can feel his spiritual presence daily. A true legend. Thank you for all the love and support you gave me over the years 🙏🏼

LinkedIn is a good source of networking professional support and advertising. I no longer wish to receive recruitment requests. I love the good feedback from previous colleagues, thank you.
I have deleted my account but before doing so, I saved a screen shot of the pages. It’s a bit of nostalgia and saving of the lovely comments. I wanted to share this with you.
