| Our history... | |||
| Small-Life Supplies was started in 1985 by Dorothy Floyd, and she continues to run this business today, in 2025 | |||
| Dorothy Floyd was appearing in local newspapers
from the age of thirteen, promoting the keeping of stick insects. She was an
active member of the Manchester Entomological Society and was soon selling her
surplus stick insects mail-order via magazine adverts. After graduating with a biology degree from Cambridge University, Dorothy Floyd set up Small-Life Supplies when she was 21. The Unique Selling Point of this business was her innovative cage, specially designed for stick insects. Below is a newspaper clipping from her meeting with Prince Charles to discuss her business venture. |

 As the business expanded, Dorothy Floyd was awarded "Young Mancunian of the Year" and jetted off to New York USA to explore new business contacts. Dorothy Floyd's book "Keeping Stick Insects" became popular and the business moved to different commerical premises. |
