Florence - the first guinea that I adopted from Karen at Reading Guinea Pig Rescue.  As a result of meeting Karen and helping her with an intake of 17 fungal guineas, Gorgeous Guineas was born in 2003 :) Florence spent 6 years as a much loved Gorgeous Guinea and died just a month short of her 9th birthday in September 2008. She is much missed and has her own obituary page.

Reading Guinea Pig Rescue - my local guinea pig rescue. This is where most of my own Gorgeous Guineas are adopted from.  Karen helps with product development and testing. She is one of the hardest people to please... that's a good thing when it comes to fine-tuning products!

Thistle Cavies Rescue - Wendi is another of my loyal band of product testers who often asks for new products for specific skin problems.  As a result of one of her requests, the Super Souffle Cream came into existence - whipped up in 5 minutes whilst we were on the phone!

Knoevel - Desiree runs a guinea pig rescue in the Netherlands and sells Gorgeous Guineas products to raise funds for her rescue.  Last year, profits from sales of Gorgeous Guineas products provided 50% of the running costs of the rescue:)  Desiree also helps with product testing and regularly provides "before" and "after" pigtures for us, and we are proud to support her.

The Mildred Mittens Manufactory - without Anita's great ideas we wouldn't have the fun-filled designs for our website, business cards, car stickers, badges, Christmas cards etc.

Greenacre Computer Services Ltd - our local user-friendly computer shop where you get fantastic customer service / support, impartial advice and they also dig you out of holes. Thanks guys!

Answer - Telephone Answering Service who take our messages while we are busy making products or packing orders. Great service at a good price:)
