Success Stories

 

Michelle Black : Black Cat Publicity

Michelle Black - West Midlands Women's Business Centre
"My work was very supportive and encouraged me to offer my press release writing skills outside of work hours. I thought about the idea seriously, but didn’t know where to start setting up my own business. I enjoy my job, but something inside of me was itching to continue to use the skills I have gained within the media industry."

Sandeep Virdee : Reeth

Sandeep Virdee - West Midlands Women's Business Centre
"Soon after leaving university (2001) I worked within the HR field for the local authority until January 2008, when my contract came to an end. Since then I placed strong emphasis on setting up my own business, as being my own boss was something I have always wanted to do, specifically in the Asian fashion field. Having believed strongly in what I wanted and how I was going to achieve it influenced me in opening my business."

Patricia Woolf and Kim Bowen : P & K Office Management

Particia and Kim - West Midlands Women's Business Centre

"We are friends and colleagues who have worked together for a number of years.  Jointly we have a broad knowledge and experience of all aspects of business including finance, executive PA, office management, event management, sales, import/export, travel arrangements and customer service. So, putting our knowledge and experience together, we thought it would be great to start a business partnership."

Mamta Bedi : Venus Beauty Garden

Mamta Bedi - West Midlands Women's Business Centre
"In 2002 I arrived in England from Chandigarh, India. I moved over here, with our three children all under the age of 7, to be with my husband. This year I decided that I wanted to start up my own business. So I did some research and also did some training to become a qualified beauty therapist. The help I have received has been very helpful and informative!"
