Small Business Saturday 6th December 2014

We have now been open in The Old Library on Nant Hall Road, Prestatyn for 2 weeks and currently have 21 small businesses working with with us, with more to join soon.

On Saturday 6th 2014 we are getting involved with Small Business Saturday more details here.

This is also on the same day as #Prestatyn Festive Fun Day  so there will be plenty to see and do across town, we will be offering festive drinks and nibbles to celebrate.

"Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-political, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities. 

The day itself takes place on the first shopping Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses. In 2014 Small Business Saturday UK will take place on Saturday December 6th."

More details published on our website.

Artisans Collective CIC March Update

We kicked off March 2014 with a very busy day in #Prestatyn Town Centre, with the Town Council Organised St Davids Day event.

We are now planning ahead for future events including Easter, Halloween and Christmas in Prestatyn.

Over the past few weeks we have also been approached to help organise and co-organise other events in North Wales, this is something we are currently considering, as we are expecting to move into new premises soon, and we do not wish to dilute our efforts in that direction.

On Friday 7th March we are attending a lunchtime event organised by Dr James Davies in St Asaph, along with other local businesses and with Karren Brady. Many of you will know her from the BBC One series "The Apprentice". Karren is the Small Business Ambassador to the UK Government under Prime Minister David Cameron.  She is the former managing director of  Birmingham City Football Club and current vice-chairman of West Ham United, as well as a newspaper columnist, author and novelist.

During the course of the month we also have a number of Art and Craft events locally, including the oversubscribed Rhuddlan Artisan Fair on Saturday 22nd.

February 20th 2014 Website Update

New features have been added to Artisans Collective website including a socially locally section. Highlighting all that is happening in #Prestatyn on Social networks using the #Prestatyn hashtag

Some good feedback from our first pumpkin carving day.

After the end of a busy week for Artisans Collective CIC it is nice to reflect of some of the feedback we have received from our event this week. I am not sure how you measure the success of a day like this but I think it went down well :-)
