Onesie Hot off the Press
Our very own Kate, spoke at the Redcar and Cleveland business forum about building up The All-in-One Company, last week. The business networking event, organised by the Enterprise Team part of Redcar and Cleveland Council, was launched more than a year ago to boost the local economy.'The Enterprise Team recently held a hugely popular marketing master-class featuring Geoff Ramm from OMG Marketing which attracted almost 100 local companies and we look forward to welcoming Kate to the business forum.'
Cllr Mark Hannon
The event was a huge hit - we've featured in quite a few articles about Kate's speech! From the Gazette Live, to BQ Business Quarters, and Zetland FM, it seems like onesiesare hot off the press!'Kate now employs a team of staff including two apprentices at a factory in Northumberland, designing and manufacturing the all-in-ones and exporting them around the globe including Canada and New Zealand...Since launching the company she has scooped several accolades, including Best Small Business at The North East Woman Entrepreneur of the Year Awards.'
'Being an entrepreneur is a rollercoaster, whatever sector you're working in. We began with three staff and now we have a really stable team, we've survived market saturation and still come out on top as market leaders. It's been an amazing ride and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.'
