The Prince's Trust 'A-Z of Young Businesses'

Not only have I been lucky enough to receive start-up funding from Youth Business Scotland (part of The Prince's Trust), The Prince's Trust has also chosen me + Ziggy to showcase as the 'Z' in their 'A-Z of Young Businesses'!

The story was also published on the Prince's Trust Facebook page and received over 50 likes! The publicity has been fantastic and has lead to a few very exciting opportunities. 

The story was also picked up by Business Matters- The UK's Leading SME Business Magazine! You can find that article here. I have so much fun doing what I do with Ziggy, it's amazing to see that there's belief in it as a business, as well as being a quirky idea! 

I had a lot of fun the day the Prince's Trust sent out a photographer to my workshop! I'm glad they picked a 'normal' looking shot for the campaign as I was directed into a few rather cheesy poses... jazz hands and all!! Here's a few of the 'out-takes' for comedy value :)

Hot Off The Press!

Wow, what a day I had yesterday!

Following new research into youth unemployment, The Prince's Trust have launched a campaign to promote self-employment to young people... and they used me and Ziggy as their case study!

I appeared on BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland program and was written about in The Herald, The Evening News, The Scotsman + The Metro! I couldn't quite believe it!

I am very grateful to Youth Business Scotland (part of The Prince's Trust) for putting me forward for such brilliant coverage.
