Starting up a business can be extremely daunting but for local woman, Vicki Nicolson, this has been a lot easier with the help of Business Gateway Fife.
Vicki, who set up her business in June of this year, has recently been granted funding from Business Gateway Fife through their Create in Fife Fund to enable her to purchase specialist graphic design software. This has enabled her to serve local and global customers from her home- office in Cupar, Fife.
Vicki has almost two decades of graphics, branding and marketing expertise and enjoyed a successful career working as an in-house designer for international corporations throughout the UK and abroad. She moved back to Fife in 2011. Then this year and when her son AJ turned four, she decided to take the leap and follow her dream of running a professional branding and graphic design business.
Vicki said: “I’m so excited to be making my dream happen, and I’m grateful for the support that I’ve had to make that happen. Without the funding from Business Gateway Fife I would not have been able to buy the state of the art graphic design package that I need to deliver a first class service. It has helped my business gain momentum and a great reputation.
“I love supporting other businesses to present themselves with impact and professionalism. I do graphic design and brand styling for businesses all over the world. I recently completed projects in Canada and New York. And it’s a lovely feeling when I see work that I’ve produced put to good use locally.”
“I encourage anyone thinking of starting their own business in Fife to speak to Business Gateway. They have helped me with my vision and mission to help bring businesses to life through visual graphics and branding.”
