A FITNESS instructor with 19 years of experience has made the leap from aerobics to attire with a new store in Nailsworth.

Mum-of-two Sam Cairns, from Dursley, will shop-share with The Dressing Room to house her sports-wear and sports-bra company Bosom Buddies.

All of her products are British made, of the highest quality and durable even after many washes.

She said: I spotted the sports-wear at an aerobics convention a couple of years after leaving my sales admin job at Lister Petter in 1996 to become an aerobics instructor whilst pregnant with my daughter Meredith.

The quality of the items were far superior to the high street brands my friends and I were all wearing at that time.

As a mum with a part time job this worked for me, I got the best of both worlds. My class members and friends loved the kit and I gained a lot of repeat orders just on the quality alone.

I reached a point where my kids were more independent, I had a product that was good and had been tried and tested for many years by me and my class participants so then came the decision in 2015 to launch the clothing under my own brand and spend more time pushing it.

The main focus of the company is to have a product designed to take all the strains of frequent exercise combined with comfort, quality, style and value for money.

She has two children, Meredith, 20 and 16-year-old Theo.

All the stages involved with making a Bosom Buddies products from dying to manufacturing are completed in Britain and designed by Sam, something she is very proud of.

Sam said: A lot of the time in this industry it seems to be all about the name and appearance rather than the quality and capability of the clothing.

There is definitely a place for Bosom Buddies in and around Nailsworth.

There is little choice for womens sports and leisurewear without traveling further afield or buying online.

I love our product and at the moment I just want it to do well in our local area.

All of her products allow for people of all shapes and sizes which can be made to measure together with a choice of waistbands, leg lengths and colour combinations.

Her shop opens at 14 Millyard in George Street, Nailsworth this Saturday at 11am, all are invited to enjoy prosecco, nibbles, and browse the products.
