Claire graduated from LJMU
in 2006 with a degree in Fine Art. Shortly afterwards she started her own business,
Landbaby, with support from LJMU’s Centre for Entrepreneurship. Landbaby specialises
in selling unique hand-crafted work and one-off pieces by designer-makers and is based at The Bluecoat in
Liverpool City Centre.
She told the story of her
start-up journey and provided students with a valuable insight into how to
merchandise a product effectively and creatively with her first-hand experience
of the independent retail sector.
Lynne Robertson, Start-up
Manager for the Centre for Entrepreneurship, “We are very grateful to
Claire for taking the time to come back to LJMU to talk with our students. The
fact that she had students lining up to speak with her at the end of the
session about their own ideas demonstrates how positively she was received.”
Any LJMU student with a
business idea can receive free business advice and support from the Centre for
Entrepreneurship www.ljmu.ac.uk/startup
