Giving your home or office a festive makeover? This new business will do it for you
After three years working as a franchisee with a UK-wide Christmas decorating group, North East businesswoman Laura Perry has launched her own independent company ahead of this year’s festive season.
Team Festive, based in Jesmond, designs and creates decorations in-house for homes and businesses around the North East.
Having already welcomed four new members of the installation team, Laura is concentrating on decorating homes and businesses across the North of England including shopping centres, car showrooms, town squares, bank branches, restaurants and bars in festive cheer.
Hoping to extend the services across other parts of the UK by next year, 30-year-old Laura says she has big plans for the new company.
She explained: “I learned a lot of lessons whilst being a part of a larger brand but I’m much happier now being able to run a business my way.
“I’m grateful that I have a good reputation for hard work and challenging projects within my field as the enquiries have been flooding in for next year already. Customers really appreciate receiving a personal touch and Team Festive offers that.
“We have a small local team of talented designers, installers and suppliers who really listen to and care about what the customer wants.
“Whether they are private homes or businesses, it is really important to me that each and every customer receives our same enthusiasm, expertise, integrity and passion. Our focus is all on the client and how we can exceed their expectations.”
She added: “We have already had some interest from outside of the region for 2018 which is fantastic. Having the freedom to do things my way and investing back into the business means that we can be competitive for all budgets, employ more people and expand our reach further for next season.
“We pride ourselves on speaking with the client and coming up with creative suggestions based on what they want and whatever they imagine, no matter how adventurous. We can deliver for large spaces or much more intimate settings, so this season will set the bar on what we can exceed in moving forward.”
