Propiietrv. Cone Q C(‘rnltiii‘s
I opened my first gallery in North BerWle on 1 June 2005 when I was 26 and have just opened another. also called Cone 9 Ceramics. on Thistle Street in Edinburgh.
I have to say there is not much it doesn‘t involve! As the owner of a rapidly expanding busmess. you really have to
be attentive to every aspect of trade. customer serVice. promotion. PR. finanCiaI planning, human resources. property maintenance. contract negotiations. exhibition deSign and product sourcmg as well as mopping the floor and making the tea! My days are long. fulfilling and extremely varied
— which is just the way I like it!
I love the variety of challenges you experience and have to overcome when self-employed. as well as the enormous sense of achievement when an exhibition is a hit or when
a customer leaves With a piece they Wlll cherish for years. I also really love sourCing work and meeting new potters; they are a very crazy. creative and warm—hearted bunch! Another major high point recently. has been my nomination for Young Business Person of the Year for Edinburgh and the Lothians. I'm down to the last four and the Winner is announced on the 5th September. so Wish me luck... The worst part of being self-employed is the hours of hard work needed to manage and grow your business. It's a way of life which you can never really put down, so squeezmg in a somal life and down time is not easy. However, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Well I have had qwte an unconventional patn really. I was
a school drop out for a few years. working on the markets as a kid. Then I got a second chance at an education when
I moved back to the Orkney Isles aged 13. Here I received the help I needed with my Dyslexia and got to go on to university. I gradated in 2001 With a First Class BSc (Hons) in Archaeological SCiences and moved to the Lothians to work. Having dabbled in archaeological field work. retail and administration management for a c0uple of years. none of which really suited me. I tried my hand at Primary Education. That's when I realized I just wanted to do my own thing. be my own boss and build my own future.
Believe in your dreams and working hard to realise them! Have the confidence to take a more unconventional path. but seek support and guidance from organisations like Busmess Gateway and The Prince's Scottish Youth Busmess Trust (PSYBT). who are extremely helpful and encouraging.
Definitely still in busmess. With a couple more branches
of Cone 9 Ceramics elsewhere in Scotland. I would like to give something back to PSYBT by becoming a busmess adviser With them and help other young people start up in busmess. I'm also keen to work with schools and univerSities to promote the rewards and careers available through self- employment.
Hell no! lt's all a bit cutthroat for me and I'm just useless under interview conditions. Anyway, I'm way too self critical to then be bullied by Alan Sugar! And imagine if I won, I'd then have to go back to being a wage slave - no thanks it it's all the same to you!
