Gap Finders: Slime Party UK LTD founder Ruby Sheldon

In 2018, two of Ruby Sheldon's daughters attempted to make slime, but instead created lots of mess and stains. This inspired Ruby to start Slime Party UK.

In 2018 two of Ruby Sheldon's daughters, like many children, were crazy about slime and putty. It was a massive craze on social media, with people talking about it and trying to make it. However, Ruby's daughters attempts to make their own slime resulted in lots of mess and stains around the house.
Ruby did some research, brought the correct ingredients, watched all the videos, and then created her own slime putty. Ruby then started doing kids parties and workshops, that soon had her travelling around the country teaching people how to make sensory putty - until the Covid-19 lockdown.
After reinventing the company to become manufacturers, Slime Party UK have honed their sensory putty recipe and also released a new cloud putty, along the way selling over 1 million tubs of Putty Pals and move in to the international market.
