As a passionate foody a major ambition was to design, start up and run a top-end sandwich and coffee shop. After six months researching and developing my brand, the shop opened in Twickenham in early 2005 and quickly developed a loyal customer base and towards the end of 2005 was achieving a weekly turnover of £3000. After receiving an offer for the lease of the shop I sold it in July 2006. The experience of conceiving an idea and working hard to realise the dream has been the most rewarding of my professional life to date. As owner and manager I ran the entire operation from marketing and buying to hiring and accounting and even cleaning! This process has given me a great insight into all areas of business and the overall retail / high street arena.
