The owner Lesley Smith received a £250 Market Test Grant from the Prince's Trust in November 2010 then returned for further funding in February 2011 to open her high street shop.
'The Honey Pot' specialises in Babywear and accessories for the home. After opening the doors Lesley has been extremely busy much to her pleasant surprise. Lesley plans to launch her online shop soon which will hopefully attract many more customers to her beautiful store.
It's great to supply a shop which has also been supported by the Prince's Trust, as an example of how the organisation really can have a positive snowball effect. It's another success story of how the charity have helped creative people into business, with Lesley having a background in Textile Design.
Lesley has already won an award in the annual Moffat Travel and Tourism Awards for 'Excellent Customer Focus', and I wish Lesley every success for the future!
