Andrew, 32 first came to Five Lamps in July 2013 looking for guidance, support and advice in setting up a Web design, Social Media management and Copywriting Business called Zodiac Digital Services
He attended workshops and one to one coaching sessions with Ian Garforth and Chris Butler from Five Lamps’ Enterprise team, which helped him gain the confidence and knowledge he needed to achieve his dream and run a business.
Andrew had never owned his own business and was unemployed for a short while prior to this, but having carried out thorough market research and with his experience of working in this industry and also as a Journalist over the last 10 years , he felt confident that he was creating a sustainable business. He also qualified for New Enterprise Allowance funding which helped him with start-up costs.
Andrew operates from home and meets his customers at a location of their convenience. He has found demand for his services are high, especially from business start-ups who can dramatically increase their online exposure to customers with Andrew’s help, all for very little outlay.
Andrew said
“The help I received from Five Lamps really has made a huge difference. My mentors gave me so much information and it was they who really gave me the confidence to believe that my business idea could turn into something real”
