Celtic Candles is a family run, Irish candle & diffuser making business which was established in 1993 by Gerry Stewart. When Gerry first started the business, he sold candles in bulk to establishments like restaurants, churches, and hotels. James, Gerry's son, recognized the additional business potential Celtic Candles possessed after earning his degree in marketing and identified a market opportunity to sell their products commercially. They began trading as a retailer as well as a wholesaler and quickly captured the interest of consumers.
