Episode description

Rachel Hanretty is the founder and CEO at Mademoiselle Macaron, sellers of handmade luxury French macarons. Rachel’s grown the business from a market stall in 2013 to a 7-figure business.

They now sell via their Shopify store to both DTC and B2B customers, via marketplaces like Not on the High Street, and about 40% of turnover is B2B sales.

  • How freezing macarons unlocked 7-figure fulfillment
