Meet the Team
Ayrshire's leading Artisan soap and candle manufacturer.
History of Dimwicks
Three friends were travelling home one Sunday afternoon when Adrian leaned forward from the back seat of the car and asked, “Do you guys want to start a candle company?” Sandy and his wife Lorna said, “Why not?” and Dimwicks was born.
Our aim from the beginning was to produce the very highest quality wax melts and candles, but in a sustainable and affordable way. It was agreed that pricing should always be competitive and transparent. This would not however be at the cost of the company doing its bit for the planet.
Too many small enterprises in this sector still use ugly plastics, mica, glitter and other gubbins. Single use plastics are never considered as an option in product design. Where possible, we resist buying anything other than raw materials from candle supply companies. Dimwicks was and is always going to be totally ethical, completely unique, and exceptionally high quality.
We are mainly local market traders appearing at events all over central Scotland. We love selling directly to the public - It’s a laugh – even shivering in the rain can be cheered up with a happy customer.
Our customers are hip to the quality, sustainability, utility and simplicity of our products. We are an established and respected brand to watch.
Every fragrance product is selected, produced and packaged individually by hand.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we consider our environmental and ethical standpoint to be the lynchpin of our company. Having fun and loving the hustle is a huge part of the Dimwicks journey.
We are really excited about selling our products in other retail spaces.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are some answers to the questions we receive the most about our services. If we missed anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to help!
We make our candles and wax melts out of soy wax flakes. Each product is made with pure essential oil or with high quality perfume oils.
None of our products are tested on animals and we ensure all our suppliers use cruelty free products and processes.
We want to provide a wide range of scents, so we use essential oils, essential oil blends and high-grade perfume oils. All of our product descriptions contain information on whether they contain perfume oil, essential oil, or a blend.
Everything we make comes from our workshop in Irvine on the beautiful Ayrshire coast in South-West Scotland. Every process is completed in house by our super nice team of artisans.
We’d love to offer you a free sample, but we are a small enterprise which likes to keep costs to a minimum. Please feel free to visit our workshop or at one of the many fairs we attend around the country.
If you are a commercial customer, we will be able to provide artwork or a sample of the end product for a small charge. We may include samples at our discretion in parcels if we think there may be a scent you might like.
Our mantra “all packaging is waste” has served us well since our conception in July 2019. We are a zero-plastic company and do not use any plastics in our packaging. If you order a box of melts from us, we will tape up the box, label it and send it to you. It’s that simple. All our packaging is either recycled or fully recyclable. Most of the time it is both.
We have a gift option for all of our products. We add a small charge for this service and can include a note if you like. Our gift parcels do not include any financial information.
