About Verity<\/h2>

Verity\u2019s background is in project management, and she spent a large part of her career working as an event manager for an outdoor events company, loving both the organisational element and the opportunity to spend her days in the open air (even in the Great British weather!). Sadly, the pandemic brought that role to a premature end, but in 2022, whist on maternity leave with her third daughter, Verity founded A Touching Finish, a celebration of life planning service, helping people to manage and personalise wakes and memorial events. It was while researching environmentally friendly memorial ideas that she came across Butterflies for Occasions, fell in love with the concept and the nature of the company and the rest, as they say, is history!<\/p>

With exceptional skills in communication and deep empathy, Verity brings a calm, caring presence to every butterfly release she arranges. Her dedication to creating beautiful, meaningful moments is matched by her strong commitment to the ethical and compassionate values our customers trust. <\/p>
