If there is one thing I’ve learnt from being in business it is…
You need to plan ahead and have a solid business plan before you launch your business. It’s always important that you believe in your idea, but you need to check the market and your potential competitors in order to establish a feasible and profitable business.
“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail”
I love working at Jersey Business because…
The great team atmosphere in the office and the fact that not every day is the same in my role

Either at the Digital Jersey Hub as I’m currently enrolled on the 2 year part-time Digital Leadership Programme which keeps me quite busy outside of work, but aside of that I like to spend as much time as I can with my daughters, my family, or watching a good TV series and playing video games.
