I attended Cowbridge Grammar school, but was not given the opportunity to go to University and married at a young age and went on to have 3 children. During this time, my husband owned an Estate Agency business, and I fancied doing something for myself.

I decided to start my own business - selling scarves, jewellery and accessories, this was in 1993. I found that a great deal of people liked my products and so I then decided to get involved with the corporate side of things, supplying jewellery, men's ties, scarves and wraps to cruise ships.

My main motivation was my husband, I always enjoyed watching him achieving his goals in his own business, it gave me a buzz to watch.

My business has developed and expanded greatly, I also have a property development company that was established 8 years ago.

 

I enjoy developing new ideas, and the most challenging part about being your own boss is starting a new project.
