Guest Speaker - Rachel Simpson

It was fantastic to meet Rachel Simpson who has developed her own footwear range for wedding and occasion wear. She talked about how she started her business enterprise, and her path from being employed by big clothing organisations such as Next, to building her own business. It was really interesting to hear about the difficulties she faced and learning moments, as well as hearing about successes with developing new product ranges and branching out into bags and accessories.
