“Michelle has a wonderful way of talking so simply yet comprehensively about building an effective marketing plan. I came to her with just the start of an idea and she’s given me the boost I needed to start putting ideas into action, which just goes to show it’s never too early to get good advice. Not only that, she is warm and welcoming and is genuinely interested in supporting you to join the local business community. I’m sure I’ll be coming back to her and would recommend her to anyone.”

“It was lovely to meet you yesterday. I found your workshop extremely interesting. It has given me considerable ‘food for thought’ and will need to take some time to think through all the matters you raised and firm up my ideas about my business. I also felt that the content of the workshop was relevant and felt confident that you were providing me with a comprehensive list of matters that I would need to consider before starting my own business.”
— Helen Davis, jewellery maker
“Thank you so much for today. It was thought provoking as I haven’t yet decided whether I really want to start a business or continue this for fun. You were very relaxed and full of information and anecdotes to help us understand. You really packed a lot into two hours so I’m going to have a look over the weekend and unpack it all as I think you’ve given me a great blueprint to work with.”
— Angela Joynt-Scott, Kitsune mid-century ceramics and glassware
