Bath Community
We’re passionate about supporting local initiatives; we give a proportion of our profits to charity, and have worked closely with Bath Cats and Dogs Home and Dorothy House Hospice .
We want to make a difference ; our business is in ensuring sexual happiness, and that starts with good sexual health. We work with sex education project ‘Brooke’ and have helped ‘Sexpression: UK’ go into schools and spread their sex-positive message.
Our people drive us ; the vast majority of our staff are from the local area, and through our ‘Ministry of Giving’ - our staff-run philanthropy programme - they drive our local ambitions. And if our people raise funds for charity, we commit to doubling their total for them.
Founded
Lovehoney was founded in 2012 by friends Neal Slateford and Richard Longhurst, following a conversation at the pub! Their USP was taking the sleaze out of selling sex toys online by creating a couple - friendly, entertaining and educational shopping experience coupled with outstanding customer service in a sector previously dominated by pornography and poor service.
