- I’ve really needed my friends >
I’ve really needed my friends and family’s guidance as well as professional support. My parents have never pushed me in any way, I just went on and did what I did and if I was happy and did my best then that was fine. My friends think the business is really interesting too, and one of my friends’ husbands is a graphic designer and he did some of our initial company logos for free, which was a great help in the early days. I’ve been very lucky in that I’ve had lots of support; I haven’t had anybody saying, ‘don’t do that it’s too much of a risk’ – we’ve never received anything but support.I’m not sure I could have set the business up without Neil, my joint co-founder of the business. He’s got a lot of experience and skills that I simply lack. I’m going on about graduates not knowing enough; at that time so was I and that’s the thing: anybody can do it, you just need to balls to get on with it and ask for lots of help along the way.
