A former primary school teacher, Angelique began her entrepreneurial career in 2014, founding the Melbourne-made children's clothing label Howi. After its rapid success she sold the business in 2017 and started her new business, The Midnight Gang, after identifying a gap in the market. The Midnight Gang make waterproof bedding that make midnight accidents a breeze to deal with, focusing on high quality and eco-friendly materials whose point of difference is their on-trend prints and designs, helping to remove the stigma that incontinence often brings. The business has won multiple awards, including Roar Awards Business of the Year in 2022, and Angelique was selected as a 2023 Inside Small Business Top 50 Small Business Leader. The Midnight Gang are available nationwide with plans to expand globally.
