“I was impressed by Joseph’s design flair and enthusiasm,” says Simon. “He was exhibiting an innovative back to back chair inspired by political conflicts, that really stood out and I was impressed by his story. “Joseph is already benefiting from the support of the FMC but I felt that we could offer him more, utilising our contacts in the
industry and the skills and expertise of our consultants and staff.
“We have introduced Joseph to a leading high street retailer that is providing valuable advice and our in-house digital marketing team are working on the launch of a website and social media channels. “The chair is under production with a specialist manufacturer and we are working with Joseph to market this to independent retailers and designers.” Boobier said, “I am grateful to Simon Acres Group for all their support. Building a business from start-up is no easy task, especially in the current climate. Having access to so many people to talk to about my ideas, and provide guidance is invaluable.”
