Hi all,

Just a little update on my progress, I have a new space that Iā€™ve set up for online sales which is almost finished and looking great, this will keep me ticking over until I find the right size premises for the shop.

Unfortunately launching the website has been slightly delayed as I partially tore my left bicep a couple of weeks ago which has set me back, luckily no operation needed as bicep tendon is still attached but just having to be careful with the work Iā€™m doing on the new space.

Iā€™m on my holidays this week but will be right back at it when I return next week. Iā€™ll post some photos of the space once finished šŸ˜Ž

Thanks
Dean

Just an update for everyone on whatā€™s happening with the business going forward.

As you all know Iā€™ve been looking for a new premises for the shop and found what I believed was the perfect space over Blaydon, Iā€™ve spent the past 6 months pursuing it to just be met with constant incompetence and unprofessionalism from the estate agents during that time despite submitting a good offer for them to pass on to the landlord.

When I eventually starting getting somewhere theyā€™ve then informed me the landlord has now let the space out to a current tenant meaning Iā€™ve wasted 6 months pursuing a premises for nothing when itā€™s clear now they havenā€™t even passed my offer onto the landlord as Iā€™ve had no response this whole time.

Unfortunately this has put me back to square one with finding a new premises, I wonā€™t give up though and will continue looking until the correct space becomes available. In the meantime Iā€™m gonna concentrate on my online store which Iā€™ve had built, Iā€™ll be spending a lot of time over the next couple of weeks uploading stock onto the site so please bare with me as working on my own. Iā€™ve never ran my own online store before so I expect thereā€™ll me some teething issues initially while I get things up and running and find my feet with it all.

Iā€™m looking to go live with the online store next week so will keep you all updated with a launch date.

Any questions please feel free to drop me a message.

Thanks
Dean
