Alana is the owner and operator of Mud Mates. She’s based in Hawke’s Bay and also mom of two.
When Alana found herself constantly changing her wee boys’ dirty clothing and struggling with a never-ending pile of laundry, she put her thinking cap on to find a better way.
She got to work and had a pair of protective coveralls made for him. The best thing was experiencing the joy of being able to take off grubby, dirty overalls to reveal clean, new clothes underneath! Spurred on by the positive feedback from other parents, Alana turned her idea into a company and Mud Mates was born.
Helping mums worldwide spend less time with laundry and more time playing with their kids!
