Dianne’ story goes back a number of years; never really been keen on education and she herself struggled at school, fast forward many, many years (although she still feels 21!!) and the education system has not come on far enough for her liking. 

Dianne has many years’ experience working with learning difficulties and disabilities and/or autism (LDD) with a passion of wanting to make a difference Dianne developed her skills in Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) after completing her teaching degree. 

Now; this step is a very big change……. Dianne started making bath bombs in April 2020; could have been boredom within the pandemic, a little bit to do with unhappiness in the rat race of a council job, but Dianne soon realised she had a skill in this area and it’s fun! It didn’t end there and Dianne has a number of bath and shower products to add to the range. 

However this still wasn’t enough; something was missing! Say hello to the founder and managing director of Magical BubbleSuds Community Interest Company (MBS CIC) MBS CIC offers work experience opportunities to young people with LDD and mental health conditions. 

Dianne is dedicated to supporting others to progress, achieve and develop within the employment industry and is passionate about providing the opportunities to others to accomplish their goals. Along comes Deb, the founder and director of Educati who desperately begged Dianne to come on board…. on a serious note so much respect between the two and an obvious choice of direction for Dianne to join the team!! 

Dianne loves the country and spends most of her time trekking though fields, over walls and across streams with her young pup, she is also a keen boxer and kickboxer and throw in a bit of meditation and she’s in her happy place!
