ENTERPRISE
3) How have you supported one another in growing your businesses?
4) What are your plans going forward?
Mavis Crystal deals with the admin side of my business, for example typing letters, following up emails, whilst I manage Crystal with her business arrangements and deadlines.
Mavis I have already piloted a meditation class at the Knowledge Dock Business Centre, which is the first step in my ambition to have ‘Wellbeing Centres’. I am hoping this branch of the business will be fully functional by 2010. The idea behind the Wellbeing Centre is to address dysfunction in a person’s life and find a resolution to that. This business venture draws on my knowledge of head massage, aromatherapy and reiki, which started as a hobby at home, but now I really believe that I can make a business success out of it.
Crystal My mum is my Manager for my personal music and modelling career, and I know that she has my best interests at heart so she is the best person to take on that role. Mum has been a great help in terms of making decisions regarding registering the business and offering business advice when I need it, as did Adrian Birtwell at Knowledge Dock. My mum also reads through my contracts and negotiates the deals on my behalf.

Crystal I have many new ideas for the expansion of both Celebrity Parties PR and the Crys-Style Creations Agency. We have just taken on a number of new models from all ethnicities and backgrounds and we are preparing for our next Crys-Style Creations Models shoot days where we are really helping our models to create the best portfolios and images for themselves in 2009. The celebrity and industry events that we have worked on recently have been on a very high scale and of a much higher calibre than the year before and we will continue in this directionand continue to deliver access to our clients and our growing database, to the biggest and best events taking place in throughout the U.K.
