The Yorkshire Soap Company

The Yorkshire Soap Company is a British handmade soap and bath products brand founded in 2004 by Marcus and Warren. The company began around a kitchen table, where the founders created soap as gifts for friends and family. Drawing on Marcus's experience as a chef, they mixed and muddled ingredients to perfect a recipe that is still used in their popular soaps today. Unable to afford expensive soap moulds, they used cake moulds and baking cases, and in 2006 they created a world of scrumptious soaps. The brand grew from its kitchen-table origins into a retail operation with seven stores across Yorkshire, helped by Warren's retail experience. The company describes its approach as "affordable luxury," inspired by everything from artisan sweet shops to the travelling circus. It aims to construct a magical retail experience and create an irresistible and inviting space that everyone can enjoy. The Yorkshire Soap Company sells handmade gift soaps and bath products through its official website and physical stores. Its product range includes novelty items such as Halloween-themed soap cupcakes (Ghost, Frankenstein, Dark Nun, Witch, Pumpkin, and Monster), priced at £6.00 each. The brand maintains a social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. The company is privately held and remains active, with its headquarters in Yorkshire, England. It continues to operate under the direction of its founders, Marcus and Warren, who emphasize keeping home close to their hearts while their imagination soars.

The Yorkshire Soap Company began in 2004 around a kitchen table, where founders Marcus and Warren created soap as gifts for friends and family. Using Marcus's experience as a chef, they mixed and muddled ingredients to perfect a recipe that is still used in their popular soaps today. Unable to afford expensive soap moulds, they used what they had—cake moulds and baking cases—and in 2006 they created a world of scrumptious soaps. Soon the founders needed to move from their little kitchen and spread their wings. With the help of Warren's retail experience, they opened seven stores across Yorkshire. The company describes this period as "an awfully big adventure." Keeping home close to their hearts has helped their imagination soar, and they remain ready for the next challenge. Inspired by everything from artisan sweet shops to the travelling circus, the company has always wanted to construct a truly magical retail experience and create an irresistible and inviting space that everyone can enjoy and allow their imaginations to roam free. This philosophy of "affordable luxury" continues to guide the brand. The company remains active and privately held, operating its official website and physical stores. Its product range includes handmade gift soaps and bath products, such as Halloween-themed soap cupcakes priced at £6.00 each. The brand maintains a social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok.
