WHAT QUALIFIES ME TO HELP YOU?

Dawn's Story

Business Bestie and Craftpreneur Adviser

Dawn is a passionate entrepreneur, speaker and advisor who specialises in helping creative women transform their passion into profitable, sustainable businesses.

 

Recently featured on GB News with Eamonn Holmes, Channel 4 and BBC Somerset, Dawn has shared her expertise across multiple national publications and stages throughout the UK, becoming a trusted voice for creative entrepreneurs seeking practical guidance.

 

Her coaching approach is refreshingly down-to-earth, blending friendly guidance with no-nonsense advice—all backed by genuine experience. Dawn doesn't just talk about business success; she's lived it herself, navigating the same challenges her clients face today.

Starting Hurd & Co on a minimal budget from her kitchen table, Dawn systematically built it into a multi-award-winning brand recognised for quality and authenticity. Now, she guides other women through the often overwhelming journey from hobby to thriving enterprise, with a special focus on helping them develop sustainable business models that fit around family commitments.

 

Through her comprehensive suite of services—including business clinics, interactive workshops, personalised 'Hurd & CoCo' coaching programmes and her in-depth Training Academy—Dawn creates supportive spaces where creative entrepreneurs can grow at their own pace.

 

Her teaching style is relatable and accessible, always delivered with warmth, humour and plenty of tea!

 

Dawn firmly believes in the power of storytelling and community to make business feel genuinely achievable. By breaking down complex business concepts into manageable steps, she helps women overcome the constant overwhelm that holds so many creative entrepreneurs back.

 

Her clients particularly value her ability to translate their creative vision into practical business strategies that generate real results.

 

Are you ready to join the growing community of creative business owners who've transformed their enterprises with Dawn's guidance and become her next success story?

Inspiration, confidence and practical application all in abundance working with Hurd&Co

I've had the absolute pleasure of attending two recent workshops with Dawn, and each one has left me feeling inspired, empowered, and full of fresh ideas.

Dawn’s passion for supporting small business owners is unmistakable 
bringing the perfect blend of professionalism, creativity, and genuine care to everything she does. Her ability to create a welcoming, encouraging space allows everyone in the room to feel seen, heard, and uplifted.

Both sessions have been thoughtfully curated, with guest experts adding even more depth and value. The relaxed yet purposeful atmosphere, paired with a beautiful local venue, made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish.

Dawn is a true gem down to earth, incredibly knowledgeable, and one of the best champions a small business could ask for. I’m already looking forward to the next opportunity to learn and grow alongside her.
