I needed help developing a functional website, we started working together & it soon became apparent that dawn could help me with so many areas of my business.

Have you ever been in a situation where you’re so excited to share your handmade products, to make sales and connections only to find people are just walking past your stall, not buying, not engaging, not  paying you any attention?

I can remember being in that very same situation feeling like I had failed, feeling frustrated, losing my confidence at each event I attended.

​

Fast forward 8 years and I’ve had my first £2,430 sales in 18 hours, I have a Multi Award Winning Knitwear business, I’ve been featured in numerous publications, appeared on National TV, the BBC and collaborated with the United Nations at a top London Fashion Show.  I have been coached by celebrities and had incredible face to face coaching from

Sarah Willingham of Dragons Den.  I now, alongside running my business, speak in front of hundreds of entrepreneurs all over the country sharing my story with one of the UK's top business training providers,
