Tartan Otter was born in January 2017 when I had an opportunity to create something that I was truly passionate about, a marketing and branding agency with innovative ideas and customer service at the heart of everything I did.

For years, I poured my heart and soul into a business which I truly loved.

In 2021, we were expecting to welcome our first baby, our beautiful daughter, Poppy, into the world.

What followed, smashed our lives into pieces. Our precious baby girl died. I understandably, took time away from the business in an attempt to heal. I thought that, in time, I would return to Tartan Otter and the work I once loved.

However, 4 years on, I have come to realise that this is no longer a possibility. The trauma that was suffered during our loss has left a deep and irreparable wound. I have changed so much since 2021 and sadly I no longer feel like I can give the love and dedication to a brand that I built from nothing. I battle each day to continue my life with a semblance of normality but sadly Tartan Otter is no longer part of that journey for me.

I’d like to thank every single person who has supported every single thing I’ve done over the years.

Tartan Otter will always have a special place in my heart.

Thank you,

Katie
