Mel Reid is the founder and mother behind Sandbar Swimwear. Originally from the UK, Mel grew up on the Canary Islands and travelled most of the world before settling down in Singapore in 2012, which is where her little boy Finn and baby girl Skye were born.

After 11 years in the corporate world, where Mel met her husband, Tom (pictured below), she took the plunge to step away from corporate life to spend more time watching her kids grow up and commit herself to creating the world's most environmentally impactful swimwear.
