Prop Options
Thank you to Poole based Prop Options who we discovered had left the testimonial below on our Facebook page. Prop Options is a UK brand which make luxury cakes stands, serving boards and event props, and the people behind that brand are the lovely Brad and Emily who make it all happen. Speaking to them they said how grateful they are that their mentor is checking in with them almost every day during lock-down and that they are in good shape working away developing new designs and continuing to distribute orders.
“We couldn’t be more grateful that Dorset has this amazing, unique organisation!!
Back in November, we arrived home at 1 am from our very first trade show, elated, exhausted, overwhelmed, excited (all the emotions). We soon realised we had absolutely thrown ourselves in at the deep end, exhibiting at the largest show in our niche along with the biggest retailers gave us the audience and wholesale offers that we had only dreamt of for our young business.
Although the show was a great success, the burning questions was “what the hell do we do now..” we were desperate for guidance and answers, although so apprehensive to share our business in raw form with someone we didn’t know. Anyway, we didn’t have much choice if we wanted this to work!
We luckily found Dorset Business Mentors, explained our situation and urgency, they took our details to pair mentor and mentee perfectly and they found us Mark the next day!!
The rest is history, Mark has literally been everything we were desperate for and so much more ! Mark’s worked hard to understand us and our business, shares our enthusiasm and rides the highs and lows of business with us.
We talk daily and meet often, he’s walked our present walk so reassures, guides us and keeps us on track constantly with a no B/S approach. Our business (and us) are stronger, more streamline and growing daily thanks to mark and Dorset Business Mentors, it really is appreciated and invaluable for experienced, local entrepreneurs to give their time and knowledge to businesses needing the support for many various reasons.”
