Hi, I'm Nic, I am the Founder and Creative Director of Disco Dust London the Biodegradable glitter company @discodustlondon, and also a makeup and textile artist (and occasionally also a yoga teacher).

Hi, I am Stuart and with the help of Lisa my wife and our fantastic team we run Set.  Being in Leicester City centre we have had 3 lockdowns now, in fact we are front runners in the lockdown stakes. As you can imagine it’s been pretty devastating to the business, but on the plus side my garden looks really really tidy.

Who are you/what do you do?Hi! I am Claire Evrard. I’m the founder of Common Modern, a new paper goods brand from Switzerland. Is there a story behind the name (if it's not your own?)Finding a name was HARD! I wanted something that reflected my belief that even the most everyday products can be beautiful. Also a name that didn’t lock me into any one category, because you never know where the brand might stretch in the future!

My name is Karin Dunbar and I opened my shop Stuff & Co 4 years ago. I am a Graphic Designer whose love of shops came through packaging design and visiting some amazing places. I also love rescuing old buildings which is how my shop came about when I spotted an unloved empty Grade II listed shop and flat in my home town and I decided I wanted to create a beautiful space for lovers of shopping.

What's that I hear you say? Let me tell you about it. Holly Tucker recently called out to find small businesses to take part in the  Holly & Co Small Business Inspirator Programme. I was chuffed to be chosen to be part of it as I'm a big fan of Holly's podcasts.
