Charlie Williams
Hi there! My name is Charlie and I have worked for large retailers, wholesalers and concession businesses for nearly 30 years.
I was a successful Senior Fashion Buyer, that was, until I had my second child and decided to take a leap of faith, giving up the day job (& the nice salary) to set up my own business selling Kids interiors and Gifting.
Soon after, I joined forces with another creative, the lovely Lucie, and after a couple of years selling other people’s goods we eventually decided to develop and sell our own brand, which we did successfully for 8 years, both direct to consumers and wholesale.
For me, this branched out from creating our own website to creating websites & consulting for others.
Since stepping away from the business I am now fulfilling my passion of helping other start ups.
I know exactly what it’s like when you have a brilliant idea, but just don’t know where to start. So that’s where I come in.
