HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, BERKHAMSTED & TRING BUSINESS NEWS, WEEK FROM MARCH 5    
     
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.
