Today WorkerBee is five and to think I don’t look a day over 56 😂 🐝

What an incredible five years it’s been. Over that time, I’ve had the privilege of supporting 32 companies and sole traders, not forgetting my favourite Charity — some for one-off projects, others during periods of change, and some who’ve come and gone (and even come back again!).

From my very first client to my most recent, I’ve genuinely loved every minute. It’s been more than just work — I’d like to think I’ve built some wonderful friendships along the way, not just client relationships.

If the next five years are anything like the first, I know it’s going to be fast-paced, full of variety, and a lot of fun.
Now for the next 5 years.

Independent businesses bring something special to our communities.

A group of traders in Hexham recently came together to create a short video celebrating not just themselves, but every independent across the country.

Sure, big companies might offer convenience or lower prices—but they can’t offer unique. They can’t offer that warm, personal connection you get when you shop local.
I’ll admit I’m a little biased about this video—one of my longest-standing clients is featured, and her jewellery is absolutely stunning. (I even got my ears re-pierced just so I could wear her earrings!)

Keep an eye out for Handmade by LollaMac in the video, and if you’re nearby, go see for yourself. Supporting independents means supporting creativity, individuality, and community.
