Hobby & Craft Forums

Hi all,

I work with Enterprise UK, a charity founded by the British Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors and Federation of Small Business, which aims to encourage and support UK entrepreneurs.

I thought that some of you might be interested to know that Enterprise UK is running a competition - Make Your Mark in the Markets - which will give two people the opportunity to turn their entrepreneurial ideas into reality and start trading on a market of their choice for six months rent free - as well as winning £1000 to help them along the way.

More information about the competition can be found at www.enterpriseuk.org/markets if anyone would like to enter. The deadline's 22 March 2010.

Thanks Danielle, I'll take a look at that, sounds interesting!

Good luck!! What do you sell/plan to sell?

I'm currently in graphic design and print brokering but since setting up the forum, I've decided to branch off and set up selling craft related items and launch is only 2 or 3 weeks away now, all very scary but hopefully it'll pay off in the end and also help market the forum too!

Oh good luck! Scary but exciting too, I'll bet and so rewarding! If you fancy sharing your enterprise journey with others, I know Enterprise UK would love to hear from you - do drop me a line if want to share your experiences and I'll set something up!

All sounds very exciting.

We stand at 20+ Farmers Markets each month - it is very good for us.

Welcome to the forum
