Success stories

Sewing with Style

Debra Drake

Business Wales gave me the tools and confidence I needed to set up my own Sewing School.

The success of reaching the BBC Great British Sewing Bee final, and receiving such positive feedback from the judges, gave Debra Drake the push to set up her own design school, Sewing with Style.

Business Wales provided Debra with the tools and confidence to follow her lifelong passion of running her own sewing business. She attended a range of start-up webinars, that informed her on how to legally set-up a business and how to create a business plan.

The 1-2-1 support Debra received from her advisor, guided her on a variety of business aspects, including start-up advice, finances and business compliance.

This has enabled Debra to turn her hobby into a trading business!
