Our Story
Hi, I'm Bianca Cloghan, the founder of Ginger B!
Ginger B represents the culmination of my professional and personal life experience. I am proud to share my wealth of knowledge and love of gifting with the world.
Every gift box is carefully curated and considered, designed to create meaningful moments. My expertise ensures others can effortlessly nurture important connections with others, through the power of quality gifting.
Where did it all begin?
It was a 12 year journey from qualifying as a Naturopath through to starting Ginger B. This time encompassed a wide range of experiences that all paved the path to Ginger B's inception.
Most notable was my time in London where I landed a management role in a high-end natural health retailer in the illustrious Notting Hill, servicing many celebrity clientele... la de da! This role also allowed me to travel to New York to liaise with affiliate retailers during a merger. It was an eye-opening and pivotal time.
Led by my time abroad, I was inspired to create something special in Perth that had not been seen before. I studied small business and I continued to work in my field, all the while developing business ideas. I finally had my 'eureka' moment and the concept for Ginger B was born!
I recognised that I could enjoy all of my passions and weave them together in a way that also helped others. My unique skill set suddenly became my greatest asset, allowing me to create something innovative and inspiring in the marketplace!
Cue in some of the most luxurious, heartfelt gifts Perth has ever seen...
