How long have you had a business in the town centre?
I started trading in town centre 33 years ago and then opened my second shop 4 years ago.
Why did you get involved with Barrow BID?

What is your favorite BID event or project?
My Favorite BID event was the Soap Box; to see the town so full of people enjoying themselves was amazing. The feedback was fantastic it was what I imagined and much more. I can't wait for our next event!

My Love of sewing as a teenager took me to Furness College to do a Fashion and Design course, this inturn gave me the confidence with my sister to take over a long standing sewing machine shop which was closing due to retirement. It took us around 5 years to get the business back to a thriving sewing shop again!
