Flora Richardson, joins me on this latest episode of the New Forest Business podcast.

The chances are, that if you have attended a large networking event in the forest, it was catered by Flora and her team. As part of our discussion, we do cover what it is like organising catering for 200 guests, with Flora’s expertise ensuring everything runs smooth.

We talk about how Flora got started, using her previous work experiences to build connections with suppliers, ensuring she uses only the finest ingredients the New Forest has to offer.

We cover how she has brought diversity to her business with what she can offer, the fear she had of coming back to her business after having a baby, the ups and downs of running a business, and succeeding in a competitive market, plus more.

This is the story behind the business – The Forest Foodie.

Kay-Jay, a model and influencer based in Hampshire is the guest on this week’s episode.

We discuss how being on a holiday at the age of 13 changed her life. Talent spotted in the midst of being horrendously bullied, flown over to Berlin on her birthday, all the way to the successful model she is today.

Kay-Jay has worked on herself, particularly the mental side of things, which means there are a number of lessons listening to her, that any business owner could pick up and learn from.

As well as her modelling career, we discuss her influencing, working with a number of brands, the role her mum plays in her career, ups and downs and what is to come in her exciting future.

This is the story behind the person – Kay-Jay Model & Influencer.

Stephanie Moore, co-founder of Totton Nutrition, joins me on this episode of the podcast.

With so many of us, either looking to lose weight, improve our nutrition and overall health, it can often be hard to know where to turn to. There can often be misleading advice, products sold without any guidance, so, with something as important as your health, it is good to have somewhere to turn.

We discuss the high tech equipment on offer to their clients, the attention to detail is extraordinary, and it is no wonder they get such great results for their clients. We also discuss what it is like to run such a business, the ups and downs and everything in between.

We also discuss the personal story from Stephanie and why it encouraged her to start the business, and when there is a human story behind a business, it often leads to great success, here is another example.
