A personal message from RNDr. Pavel Popov
I've shared with you why I created Brighter Living and why I chose Dr. Popov. But there is another part of the story I wanted you to hear - this time, not from me, but from the man behind Dr. Popov.
RNDr. Pavel Popov founded the company in the Czech Republic in 1993. His connection with herbs, however, began long before then, through knowledge passed down within his own family.
Here is a personal message from Pavel to his customers and friends.
A message from Pavel
"Love and respect for medicinal plants have been passed down through generations in our family.
My father taught me, just as his father taught him. Today, I am passing that knowledge on to my children, Šárka and Ondřej, who now work in our company.
Although 30 years have passed since I began making our first herbal ointments with my father, I believe our work is far from finished. Thanks to your support, I hope Dr. Popov will continue to be a part of your wellbeing for many years to come.
Dear customers and friends, on behalf of our whole team, thank you. I hope the relationship we have built with you will continue to grow."
With respect,
RNDr. Pavel Popov
Why I wanted to share Pavel's message
There is something very special about knowing the people and the story behind the products we choose.
The photograph accompanying this article is one of my favourites. Pavel stands with portraits of his father and grandfather behind him - the very generations he speaks about in his message.
For me, it captures what Dr. Popov is about far better than a long company description ever could: knowledge passed on, family connection and a tradition that continues.
I'm very happy to be able to introduce that story, as well as the products themselves, to you here in the UK.
