General Election Results and Small Businesses
From changes to energy supply, taxes, business rates, and how the system works in general, it's looking as though small businesses are a priority on their agenda as opposed to the previous government. -
Why does eating out become a lesson in label interrogation with being Gluten Free?
Why use a product only suitable for 80% of customers when we can use one that can be ingested by 100% of the people who walk through the door? -
668160 minutes sober… here’s my story
464 days1 year, 3 months, 7 days11136 hours668160 minutesHowever I look at it, I cannot seem to shake the pride. The number is massive to me. Not only because of its numerical value, which looking at it in writing seems pretty high, but also because of the change those numbers have had on my life. -

More and more people are choosing to deregister their children from school to home ed, are you one of them?
Overall this has been a very positive experience for Alfie, Michael and I and we can't wait to see where this progresses and the memories we are able to make along the way. One extra park of all of this has been the time I craved so badly with him, and the reason for setting up my own business, has come back to me in spades and we now get all the time in the world together. -
Has the global shortage of cocoa impacted your small business?
Whilst our chocolate may cost a little more, the care and effort we put into making cannot be matched by machine. The ingredients will be similar, if not very nearly the same, but we have something in ours that you cannot get from a piece of metal - that's the love. -
Enjoy a unique chocolate making experience to celebrate your special occasion...

What finally broke me, was what had made me..... Part 3
I knew what I needed to do but putting it into action was a different thing entirely. I had to decide, in a moment, to work to live... instead of living to work. -
I could not let this fail, I was doing it for Alfie...Part 2
Something I never really took into consideration when establishing the Sarah's Creative Kitchen empire was the fact I'd end up using every hour of every day to make sure it was a success. A business once established to give me more flexibility, freedom and time, took every one of those things away from me.
I was out of the door in the morning before anyone was awake to open up the factory, to turn on machines and get chocolate tempered... and I came home once everyone was already in bed, after working production all day, and having to do all the admin in the evenings.

Why I set up my business.... Part 1
I craved the freedom and flexibility of being my own boss...
I signed a 5-year lease to a factory unit in Southend in November 2017, and officially moved in there the following January. The relief was amazing. We had our home back, we could expand now however we wanted, and I could share the load with others. It wasn't solely on my shoulders anymore... or so I thought!
I never expected what followed - in both the best and worst ways!
