Richard Eden, owner of Panache Flowers said the grant has greatly benefit his business. “We now have the infrastructure needed to meet our customers’ demand for floral workshops. We’re excited about our new floral art classes, which will offer pansy classes, corporate and hen’s party workshops and tropical flower arrangements.”
TAHLO, HawthornOwner Sophie Hose, said the grant has enabled her business to fill a current gap in the market. “I am grateful for the grant as we now can look after an underserved market of petite women (5’3) who find it difficult to find business attire to fit. This will not only let us grow our business further, but it will also help to build a stronger local business community in general by expanding our retail offering.”
