Recently I set myself a task, dare to fail. So under the guise of a dare to fail side project I started an apparel brand call South Coast Drifters. The goal is threefold1. Learn more about marketing and how to take something from idea to reality and all that's involved in the process.2. Build something I'm passionate about that could one day use it's influence to help those less fortunate than others.3. Just do. Rather than allowing negativity, fear and the past dictate your emotional state, live in the moment be present and do now what may benefit my future self... It has genuinely been an emotional rollercoaster, but it's up and running now, lessons have been learnt the hard way, loads more to learn and master and fail I imagine. Buy the ticket, take the ride....

Klute lounge is a premium bar which operates in conjunction with Funki Sushi. Funki Sushi has gone from strength to strength and has huge potential of becoming a well known brand within many towns in UK. Klute is an established up market bar which is aimed at young professionals aged 23 upwards. Funki Sushi serves top quality sushi accompanied by a Thai fusion menu which can hold its own along side the high standards of the sushi.Achievements:* Launched Funki Sushi to go, realising our location was too far out for most people at lunch times, we decided to take Funki Sushi to them by supplying the busier sandwich shops with a selection of sushiboxes that are far superior to any box bought from Tesco or Marks and Spencer's etc. a new part of the business which is growing steadily and also raising brand awareness.* Implementing a new student night in conjunction with promoters, realising that on the weekends our door policy was so strict we were missing out on a large share of the student market. We targeted the upper echelons of the student world to create a premium student night in suiting with our brand style which increased sales from 700-900 pounds to a consistent 3000 pounds plus. We are now looking to improve this once again to 5000 pounds due to brand awareness which has now been successfully created.
