About this episode
Steve Henry interviews Gillian Ridley Whittle about her journey in building Peachaus, a brand focused on women's comfort and empowerment.
In this episode of Swim Against The Tide, Steve talks to Gillian Ridley Whittle, founder of Peachaus, a women’s underwear and leisurewear brand with a mission far bigger than fashion. After a hugely successful career in corporate retail — including senior roles at Marks & Spencer, Topshop and major Australian retailers — Gillian stepped away from a world that no longer felt aligned and set out to build something rooted in care, comfort and purpose. Peachaus is now taking bra fittings into workplaces, festivals and communities, helping women understand their bodies, feel comfortable, and step into their confidence. This is a conversation about fear, reinvention, women’s health, purpose-led business, and why Gillian believes comfort can be the start of a movement she is passionate to deliver.
