My lil' meeting with HRH The Prince of Wales

A    V E R Y   R O Y A L   O C C A S I O N 

Feeling incredibly honoured to have been one of four chosen to represent The Prince’s Trust & fellow young people in business last month for a meeting with HRH The Prince of Wales.

It was a great opportunity to promote the hard working young entrepreneurs that have been helped by the Enterprise Programme and meet Prince Charles and Kelly Hoppen. 

The Princes Trust does great work supporting 13 - 30 year olds who are unemployed, 

and those struggling at school and at risk of exclusion. 

Personally the support from the Prince’s Trust has allowed me to follow my dream of owning my own business, loaned me money & given me a business mentor for 2 years. I receive a tremendous amount of support from Patrick, my mentor, and I cannot recommend the Prince’s Trust more, they do an incredible job helping, supporting and giving practical advice to enable young people to move into work, education or training.

Summer Loving...

So summer is most definately here in London with people actually melting on the tube, but its all jolly good fun getting my pale legs out and watching the pigeons sunbathe! My placement at Burberry has sadly finished, I cannot begin to describe how much of a treat it was to work at the super dooper place - I am going to miss working there indeed not least saying I work there too, pah! ALAS I am now armed with even more design experience and I'm not afraid to use it... so hopefully I may just partake in some permanent paid positions, now how about that for a perfect P alliteration!

My cards are selling like hot cakes and I'm very excited about a new range I have been working on - 'penthoughts' and the upcoming task (ie like now eep!) of designing a proper bo website for them. Next week I shall be learning all about setting up a business... how exciting i think I get a free lunch too, well it is all day! So coming to a london market near you (fingers, toes, eyes and lips crossed) soonies!!! yippeeee!

I don't think I have ever been so excited about achieving something, apart from the year I climbed the big beech tree at the bottom of the garden before my older brother M, but thats more of a specific sibling rivalry moment but do I remember as I neared the top of the hanging branch.... I looked down at my shocked brother and shouted "in your face!" But then I never did manage to beat him at anything since. And I suppose you could count my degree, competitions, exhibitions, placements blah blah whatever coz having a proper mini business of my own THATS SO EXCITING! So less chat lets get cooking...

So if you need cards I have an endless supply mosey on down to my website or write to me... go on send me a love letter, order, joke whatever you like...
