New Begining

I moved from Brighton to Leamington Spa to support my husband in his new job over 7 years ago. It was a real wrench at first as I loved living by the sea and I had built up a successful interior design business in Brighton. My husband had followed me in the past with my several career moves so it was my turn to repay the compliment. A new challenge was afoot, setting up a similar interior design business in Leamington Spa. During the process of looking for a office with a window, I happened upon an old metal fabricators unit without any windows. The complete opposite to the brief given to the estate agents. The 2500 square foot unit was being used as an indoor creative market, which had lost the majority of its sellers due to the recession at the time. Situated on a lovely little shopping street in the town centre, it was such a great space, my instinct told me I'd found the home of my new business and it wasn't just going to be interior design, this was a great retail space. It was at this point , I first met my new business partner and friend Liz Downton, a fellow entrepreneur and business woman. With similar drive and beliefs we started to build a new independent interior retail space, that was inspiring and exciting. Fairly quickly we developed a great little 'collective' community which we love being a part of. Now, as they say 'the rest is history'.
