Meet Sam

Sam started Compass Candles in 2017, after making 'terrible' candles as Christmas gifts and wished to perfect the art. The business grew enough for Sam to quit working for the Police in 2021 and is now his full time job.

With many great clients on board and an established customer base, Sam wishes to push the brand as much as possible, but always maintain that the products sold are of the highest quality with the best customer service!

The Brand


 Compass Candles prides itself on creating candles using natural ingredients such as soy wax and natural cedar wooden wicks, whilst keeping the candles as affordable to everyone as possible.


We could not believe how popular our Bottle Candles were when we released them in 2017, you guys love them and they are easily our favourite product to produce. We love that we get to re-use bottles that may have ordinarily been thrown away and not even recycled! Customers often ask where we get our bottles from, but it’s not a secret, we get them from friends, family, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, wedding venues and sometimes we are even lucky enough to have drank the contents ourselves, prior to turning them into candles.

Shop Local / Shop Small

Yes, Compass Candles is a small business, but we like to think we can compete with the ''big guys''. Not only when it comes to the products, but the value for money, customer service, speed of delivery and of course, the quality of the products that we produce.

We love feedback, so please let us know if you have any, whether that's good, bad or ugly!
