I went from working a carefree part time job, to hurling myself into working six days a week on my own, in my very own shop where everything was my responsibility! And it was then that I discovered my purpose in life… this was for me, I loved it! I’m a very hardworking, creative person, and if I’m totally honest…I don’t really like being told what to do! This job is just perfect. Full creative pass and no boss!
My speciality is bespoke funeral work; I class each piece as a work of art and make sure I’m proud of every single design. I often find myself closing the door and staying for hours, getting immersed in new ideas for the shop. Or very often I’ll be lying in bed at night writing notes and lists on my phone, Instagram posting or replying to enquiries. I quickly learned that I get back what I put in.
I think very highly of all of my staff and I make sure they know it. I’m very proud I started Sweet P alone, but I realise my shop would not be what it is today without my amazing team!
