Sam
Owner of Dudes n' Dolls
Sam is the owner of Dudes n’ Dolls, and has found herself alone in this role since her business partner and son’s father sadly suddenly died in 2019.
This hasn’t stopped her becoming a girl boss of a growing collection of businesses.
A people person to her core, she counts her lucky stars to have the privilege to work with a team of enthusiastic, dedicated and all-round-brilliant people.
Sam lives life at 150mph, flying between work, Southampton where her eldest son Jaden plays football, Mum life, having fun with her youngest Son Rio and occasionally out with her friends
Her strengths include an extreme drive to have everything perfect, right now.
