Tell us about your business?  
I took my first steps to opening a 1940's inspired tea room, after choosing the self-employment option for my summer work placement.
I then joined LJMU’s Centre for Entrepreneurship and used the space and support within the Centre to research my idea and after finishing my degree, immediately joined the Enterprise Fellowship Programme and used the business advice and funding to launch my business in Crosby, North Liverpool.
