        • Hey Keylee, Nice to meet you. What’s the big idea? Happy to help in whatever way I can. I specialise in user experience (UX) design for websites and software. @robfryer-brandstorm is a branding specialist who might also be able to provide some insight when the conversation turns to branding. @signal-emma is the person to speak to about business ideas if you’re looking to bounce a few around. Her and her contacts are gold.

          If you want business advice then there”s a whole slew of experts and guidance available here and through SIGNAL – perhaps you could tell us a bit about you, your idea, like sector you want to look at, or types of customer you want? Some details would help shape the right replies. Let us know a bit more about your background and skill set! Share your vision, we’d love to hear more!

          • @stu Thank you all so much for the replies, its very early stages and I’m conscious not to get too many people involved if it proves unachievable for myself.

            I am thinking about opening a Play Cafe in Bordon, so looking at parents with young kids ages 0-5 (potentially 7) hopefully with the ability to expand to reach other age groups through planned activities rather than free play

            I don’t have a specific skill set, I went to university for Graphic Design and had kids the year after graduating along with a big house move it took me out of that world

            Im keen to take this idea further than an idea but unsure of the steps on how to get it into a real project

              Well just so happens I might know a thing or two about cafes, quick service restaurants and the like as I am co-owner of three units in the Shed. Perhaps it might be worthwhile having a zoom call and we can dig into the details? The biggest challenge will be finding a suitable location for a permanent space in the town, but nothing is totally impossible and with @signal-emma contacts and mine within the council and beyond, I think we might be able to help shed some light on the people you need to speak to or the next steps. Don’t worry about getting people involved, if it is something that can stand up and get going then experienced heads are what you need. Between Em and myself we have over 50yrs of business experience, so I am sure we’ll help somehow!

              • @stu I would really appreciate a zoom call in the near future, I have a few ideas on where would be suitable but definitely need to look into it more

                • @kaylee-southyahoo-com book when suits through my website stuartmorrison.com – lets chat and see where the biggest hurdles lie
