Natural Scented Candles, Handmade in Ireland

Our story begins in 2012 with our founder, Peter Smith launching his own candle business. Faced with the same choice as so many of his peers - namely where to pursue further education - and confronted by a backdrop of rising unemployment in the graduate community, Peter found himself asking if he in fact needed further education at all. Having always had a natural entrepreneurial spirit ever since he begun selling sweets and other snack foods in school at the age of 14, he decided to opt out of further education in favour of launching his own local business at the age of 18.

Commencing with a small retail outlet specialising in candles and gift-ware in his local hometown of Dromore, he sold an extensive range of various brands of candles. It wasn't long before he was expanding and opening a second store in a neighbouring town. This retail background lead to a wide knowledge of the best selling brands, including their features and failings. Using customer feedback he soon realised that there was a need for a high quality competitively priced, locally made luxury candle.

In the Summer of 2014 Lasair Candles was born.
So after many months of making, testing and improving, Lasair Candles were finally ready to sell to the public. It wasn't long before we were supplying not only our own stores, but other retailers also. both with the Lasair Candle brand and 'own brand' labelling. With the growth we seen in our first year it was decided that we would switch our full focus to the manufacturing and development of the Lasair Candle brand, leading to the decision to close our retail outlets. We continue to develop an ever growing range of styles of candles and scents and are forever on the lookout for more inspiration and feedback from our loyal customers so we may continue to improve our brand.
