About us
We are mother and daughter, Sue Perry and Carly Bushill, the team behind The Hidden Gem.
Sue successfully ran her care company, Wishing Well Home Care that she founded in 2015, having recently set up an Employee Ownership Trust, she has now retired to concentrate on her next venture The Hidden Gem.
Carly runs her successful hair and beauty business The Secret Salon, specialising in wedding hair and make-up, and pre-wedding beauty treatments. Carly has always had the idea of combining the whole package, removing the stress of going to so many different places.
To view the collection is by appointment only, where you can try on our dresses in the privacy of our cosy boutique, friends or family and welcome to accompany you.
Below is a lovely review from our Facebook page from one of our lovely ladies…,
“I would like to say a massive thank you to The Hidden Gem, who offer a truly wonderful friendly and personnel experience. I felt so special in the lovely dress, hat, and shoes I purchased for my daughter’s wedding. Sue is so accommodating and will treat you with respect, helping you find that perfect outfit. I am so happy I found this boutique and felt amazing as mother of the bride on my daughter’s special day”.
