Jackie ‘O’ Henderson and Gemma O’Neill reveal why they really did business together — after founding events company Besties
Jackie “O” Henderson revealed on Sunday the surprising reason she decided to start her besties business with close friend Gemma O’Neill.
The radio queen, 48, said the longtime friends noticed there was a lack of businesses that would help people celebrate their close friends – so they decided to start one together.
“There are all these options for other relationships in your life – romantic etc – and we just felt like there was a real gap in the market,” she told the Daily Telegraph.
“There were all these opportunities to become a better leader or a better person, and with women in particular, we thought, why do we always have to do more, be more?”
‘It is exhausting. Where is the opportunity as women to just have fun, just be playful and have more joy in our lives?’ She added.

Realizing the importance of women celebrating their close female friendships, Jackie designed Besties to make the experience simple and accessible.
Last week, Jackie revealed plans for her new business venture.
On Wednesday, the radio star dropped a bombshell about her first very high-profile speaker in the events industry’s debut.

Hollywood superstar Gwyneth Paltrow will be helping the 48-year-old introduce besties, Jackie revealed on The Kyle and Jackie O Show.
In a post on Henderson’s official Instagram account published around the same time, Jackie wrote that the Oscar winner is “coming to Sydney this October for an exclusive @bestiesau stage visit”.
Besties appears to be an events company that sells “best friend” experiences to create memories together.

The website said, “Besties is a place that offers you and your best friend the perfect opportunity to spend more time together and create extra memories together.”
Jackie O also announced the launch on Instagram, saying she’s “thrilled” about starting a new “side business” with her best friend of 20 years.
Alongside a series of stunning professional photos taken of the couple on the beach, Jackie O said she and Gemma shared every major milestone.
“Like any Best Friends duo, we’ve always dreamed of starting our own side business and we’re so excited to share the news of our latest project, Besties,” she said.
