This week I went to a networking event and heavens knows its been an absolute age since I pitched. I was last up (the order is random, so not by choice!) and had been absolutely glued to the previous speakers’ stories before me. Property investor, writer, cleaner, photographer… the industries represented were diverse and yet […]

2 years ago this week I packed up my bedroom and piled boxes and bags into my dad’s car, ready to head off to uni in my now beloved Sheffield. I was almost paralysed with fear, and I think that car journey was the first day I ever experienced car travel sickness. It was a […]

If you own a small business – you will know the importance of new content, and for the gorgeous Donna at Trapeze Kids she was super excited when the new Indikidual SS/19 collection dropped last week – the range features bright colours and bold prints; the children of Sheffield are going to adore these!
