Before starting my business, I was a store manager for a major high street retailer. I had been in retail management for over 15 years and absolutely loved my job. When COVID first struck and the world stopped, I had the opportunity to work in the Marketing team specifically social media. I spent months working on a project with Facebook pages, and armed with an education in digital marketing gave me the opportunity to use the skills I had forgotten I loved. During my journey there have been some bumps in the road, the biggest one was the conversation with my wife explaining that I wanted to give up my salaried job in pursuit of starting my own business, freelancing, in a world pandemic, with no client list. Tricky conversation at the time but luckily I married a good one, who is so understanding. Luckily it didn't take long for the phone to ring and now I get to work with some great people.
