It was my company’s second birthday last week. So, what better way to mark this than to look back on what these two years have brought me…

It barely seems believable that we find ourselves here again. Lockdown number 3, or 4? Who knows.

Being self-employed can be a strange existence. Team meetings are pretty non-existent, there’s no-one at the kettle to moan to about your workload, and the Christmas do can be a little quiet. But it can also provide you with a completely new lease of life, particularly if you are - like me - a fairly ambitious, determined and headstrong mother of two.
