Greater Brighton and Hove Area
Founder and owner of a chain of independent retail toy shops, established in 2012 and with branches across the South East and online. Expert in toy product selection, product creation, starting and building a retail business. My business specialises in 'things to make and do' - creative toys that really engage children. I am passionate about quality play experiences for children and building a collection of toys that parents really want to buy. Originally a primary school teacher, I have also worked as senior project manager in industry and built strong relationships with many other companies. I'm particularly keen on building links with other toy industry professionals, supporting young businesses as they develop and working alongside other innovators in the toy industry.
Creative toy shop owner - branches in Brighton, Chichester and Tunbridge Wells.
My lovely cafe - now sold to make way for the growing toy shops.
