Biggie Best was founded by Pru Pfuhl in Cape Town, South Africa in 1987. Made businesswomen of the year in 1994, she is now one of the country's foremost authorities in the home décor market, ensuring that the company and the products themselves are synonymous with good taste and provincial elegance.
The company is very much a family business. Pru's son Mark runs the business day to day and her daughter in law Elena works on product development.
