In 2020, Bo+Tee was founded by Claire Henderson and Mike Branney. Long before the launch of the brand, they were sellers on eBay. Their profits were donated to charities for children living in poverty across southeast Asia. The same sense of mission and purpose carried over to the businesses they established later.  

   With 18.9K followers on Instagram, Henderson has been recognized for her considerable influence on the public eye. In her posts, she often describes the gratitude she feels for her loving family and supporters. What sets her apart from many entrepreneurs is her thankful attitude towards every moment in her entrepreneurial career. As owner of OhPolly, Bo+Tee, and NeenaSwim, there inevitably have been some mistakes made. One significant drawback for the team of OhPolly was when one of their suppliers stole £30,000 from them. In response to this pivotal moment, Henderson reassures, “the key is not to quit, every successful person hasn’t quit.” Henderson sees terrible times such as these as opportunities to obtain wisdom.  

   Owning three brands, having a family to care for, and a name to live up to, Henderson has to concentrate on numerous things all at once. Her ability to multitask and dedicate time to each aspect of life is truly an exemplary trait for an entrepreneur to have. The capability of managing three businesses all at once is not common, and for Henderson, it also wasn’t natural. She eases into her increasing task load. Success does not happen overnight. Slow progress does eventually build up to something substantial. What any entrepreneur can learn from her is to start small and to see every moment as an opportunity for growth.
