IN THE PINK

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER IN THE PINK!

QUESTION: What’s the first thing you do when you retire?

QUESTION: What’s the first thing you do when all your children are settled at school and of an age to be a bit independent?

ANSWER: In both cases, the entrepreneurial mother and daughter duo of Beryl Shapps and Marla Coutts decided that setting up their own business was the way to go.

On selling her business 18 months ago, and retiring from a busy life in independent retailing, Beryl applied her 35 years knowledge and experience to produce the online eBook best-seller ‘101 BUSINESS HINTS AND TIPS’ . This was based on her long involvement in running her two shops. Buying and selling, plus managing the administration, as she did on a daily basis, gave her the opportunity to pass on this knowledge to others.

But, more than that, being so well versed in the ways of business, she could not just sit at home doing nothing: she felt that she was ready to explore new avenues. Marla, Beryl’s daughter, initially trained in Textile Technology at Nottingham University. On gaining her degree she went on to work for several of the prestigious fashion houses, before getting married. Then, whilst bringing up 4 children for the last 16 years, she has kept her hand in - garnering additional experience in the process - by buying and selling interior home accessories for several companies on a part-time basis. She, too, was just about ready to launch out into something new.
So, what better than to get together amalgamate her complimentary talents with those of her mother?
