Today’s Business Live radio show comes the day after the Sheffield Business Awards, attended by several hundred people. I left at around 1am and the party was still going strong…
My studio guest today was Maria Terry, co-owner of The Dress Circle (Dress Agency and hat shop) on Abbeydale Road. Maria bought the business a few years ago with her mother, Pat.
They are collaborating with other business-owners on Abbeydale Road on activities around Small Business Saturday. Have a listen to Maria in the podcast below to hear more about their plans – and about why she and her mother deided to buy the business, four years ago, with a combined age of 130 between them – and how they’ve developed the shop since then.
The show also covers Maria’s experiences of marketing, increasing footfall, and xxyyy zz.
