And of course we continue to cover a host of enterpreneurial journeys every week that are impressive and inspirational. From an IT professional who has taken to jewellery to an architect who's into upcycling cloth, we've got some beautiful stories for you. Then there's the committed band of mothers who're helping their neurodiverse kids run a design studio and a stained glass artist who's pitching in to keep the art alive. We're proud to bring them all to you.
Read all about them here!
