Amanda's favourite products? Facial Cleanser, “I love the way if decongests and moisturises my skin. The scent also gives me the perfect start and end to my day.

Operations director
Geoff Winwood
Known as the King of spreadsheets!
Geoff has worked for Made for Life for over 9 years, but previously worked for many years in aerospace manufacturing and now brings his attention to detail to our organisation and products.
Outside work I like to: “work on our old farmhouse, ride my Harley Davidson, restore classic motorcycles, walk and swim”
My favourite products: Soothing Muscle Balm “this product works brilliantly to soothe aching muscles at the end of a busy day working in the garden or long-distance motorcycle riding.
I also love the Skin Solve with Calendula, which I use to soothe dry skin and all the cuts and scratches I get in the garage and garden!”
MANAGING DIRECTOR
Cherilyn Mackrory
Our 'Boomerang Girl', Cherilyn was with us over a decade ago, left to become a mum, but has since rejoined us, ten years on.
Cherilyn has a true passion for the Made for Life ethos and for being an advocate for people and causes. She recently spent time as one of our Cornish Members of Parliament where she specifically helped to form policy around improving the environment, women's health and be the voice for families who had lost a baby.
She is a qualified sports massage therapist and shares our belief that wellness needs to be accessible, especially for those at their lowest point. She's also a massive advocate for greater self care for the therapists and care givers.
"I love to be out in nature, either walking or swimming. I love being able to spend time with my friends and family, which feels like a luxury after 5 years travelling between Cornwall and Westminster.
"My favourite products are the Soft Touch Intensive Hand Balm, for the gorgeous scent, and all of the wellness balms, which I find vital for the medicine cabinet, being married to a fisherman and raising an outdoors-loving child!"
