CREASES: IRONING
GOES NATIONWIDE
 |
|
AN IRONING
service set up by two Hemel Hempstead mums is set to become a nationwide
business after they created a business pack telling entrepreneurs how to
succeed. Helen Bennett and Jo Warr, pictured above, set up Creases
professional ironing service two years ago after they wanted to spend more time
at home with their children. Now the company employs 12 people who iron and
deliver across the borough and is embarking on a new venture, selling business
plans to those who want to set up a similar company. And already they have
interest from up and down Britain. Helen said they had thought setting up
their business would be easier but encountered a lot problems on the road to
success. She said at the time she wished someone had told her what she knows
now: We have learned so much running a small business of our own. We had
to learn about accounting, getting the right people to join the team. We
thought it would be easier than it has been. It occurred to me that we spent a
lot of time trying to learn how to do this and I thought I wonder if
there are people out there who would pay for that knowledge? If two years
ago people said that to us we would have bought it. The new business
pack is not a franchise but is merely a tool for those wanting to set up
ironing services of their own.
