EP19. A pioneer for change! Leah Tennant - Founder, Washdown Ltd
May 16, 2023 Season 1 Episode 19
Hollie

Leah Tennant, founder of Washdown, explains her simple and clever solution to the problem she experienced first hand in her early career as a deckhand!  

The worry she had about the chemicals she and her fellow crew were ingesting as they worked. The side effects listed for cleaning products were terrifying! When she returned to shore she vowed do something about it and Washdown was born.

The clever concept (Biotech) makes use of living organisms to create the Washdown products!

She’s taken superyacht products and repackaged them into bio-shots. This means she’s offering ‘normal’ size bottles, for ‘normal’ size boaters, in concentrated formulas — saving plastic packaging. The sustainable solution in more ways than just how it is developed. It is in how it is packaged, transported, and disposed of too!

Leah wants to change the industry!

We discuss the challenges she faces as a female in the marine industry and how it can come with its advantages also!

“What if it can turn out better than you imagined”
