Bess Cuddon-Corlet

CEO

Hi I am Bess a year 12 student from Marlborough Girls College and I am the CEO of Refloat. Something that inspired me to start this business was when I saw a lot of pool toys going to waste over the summer holidays and I was disappointed that so much plastic was going to waste that could be reused. This problem inspired me to join business class and do something to change this problem of plastic waste. My job at refloat is to make the products and make sure everyone is doing their part to make the business as good as it can be. Refloat is a huge passion of mine and I hope we can become bigger in the future.
