Founder

Made Of More

From banking to farming and co-founding a CBD oil brand, my journey has been anything but ordinary. At 40, a personal quest led me to reimagine skincare in midlife. With Made of More, I’m blending science, creativity, and innovation to offer skincare that truly supports women through change.

Share an experience or challenge that has shaped you? My mother ran her own business and from a young age I worked for her. She is an exceptional human who taught me the value of hard work and I would not have the work ethic I have today without her.
Best piece of advice you have ever been given? What doesn't kill you makes you stronger which sounds a bit dramatic but is a helpful reminder when things get really tough. And from Leonard Lauder’s incredible autobiography' surround yourself with people who are better than you’.
What advice would you give to your younger self or a woman just starting her career? You are more resilient than you know and you are more capable than you realise. The path is never straightforward - and that’s the fun part. I have to remind myself constantly that you will never learn unless you make mistakes. I tell my children this regularly but will then proceed to beat myself up if I make a mistake; which I am sure will resonate with lots of women.
What does success mean to you? ~
How do you handle challenges and changes? What's in your toolkit? ~
Why is it important to support women in business and women-led business? Because we run the world! Having come from a very male dominated working background it is so refreshing to work with women who offer support, raise each other up and create outstanding products & services. We owe it to the next generation of women to show them what we can achieve together.

60 Seconds with Jackie Lamyman

My inspiration is: My 14 year old daughter who has Type One diabetes and epilepsy. She never ever ever gives up.
My greatest fear is: Something happening to my family.
The most courageous thing I have ever done is: Establishing Made of More.
I am most proud of: The positive comments and emails we get from women having used our products. They actually make me cry (good tears).Guilty pleasure…
Guiltless pleasure: Pickled Onion Monster Munch; preferably the giant ones. Filthy but good filthy.
Mantra I live by: Everything happens for a reason, which sounds super vague but in fact explains how so many things that have happened in my life have led to something great.
Female role model: So many! I love women who just don’t give a damn - Dolly Parton, Blondie, Carol Vorderman, Carolyn Harris MP. Women who know what they want, say what they want and go for it.
Women-led brand I love: To The Fairest fragrances. They are an absolute delight. Rebecca is not only clever but incredibly kind. Ruby Hammer’s make up is a joy to use and so brilliantly designed.
