Unique Lady of the Month for February: Ruth Phillips
Unique Lady of the Month for February: Ruth Phillips
Introducing our Unique Lady of the Month for February:
Ruth Phillips
Woodchats Coffee Shop, Chorley
Ruth’s background is in marketing. She was a National Marketing Director for a Professional Services Training Provider, working across London and Manchester.
“I got fed up of the 70+ hour weeks, the commuting and no longer doing the job I actually loved – I loved the creative side of marketing. Being a director takes you away from that. I decided to take a punt on being my own boss, I love coffee, I love baking (and Cooking), I love people and I knew how to manage a business.”
Long story short she opened the doors to Woodchats Coffee Shop in Chorley almost 10 years ago.
“I have plans for growth, we want to share our amazing scones nationally as well as our homemade jams and chutneys. 2022 is an exciting time. And it wouldn’t have been possible without Unique Ladies. That’s a story in itself, that I love to share with you.”

Favourite Quote
And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.
