Last year I wrote a blog post about the businesses to watch for the next year and I thought before the year is out it'd be great to do a follow up on some of them:
SPACEWORKS:
The shared workspace has gone from strength to strength this year, its grown and developed into Harland works, with lots of exciting new businesses joining it and established businesses there expanding. Over the year Harland has put on a number of family days including my favourite the Roald Dahl family day. Its also been home to the Third Sector cafe, which has gone from an idea to a fully functioning and successful peer to peer learning group, communicating with 2,000 charities and social enterprises over the last 6 months.
WILDAGO
The magical world of Wildago was always a fun and great place to be, but this year has seen the development of a whole new range of characters, whom are going on display.... They have been created for Sheffield Forgemasters another Sheffield success story. I can't wait to meet them all and of course I'll be keen to find out what;'s happened to Pearl and whether Edmund has finally put any trousers on!
THE CORNER GALLERY
Last year I met Hendrika and was impressed by her enthusiam and intergrity, this year she has been a driving force behind the creation of the Antiques quarter, a fantastic development for Sheffield and a real boost to Abbeydale Road, Broadfield area.
MePod
Lucy from Mepod is a great
creative and
inspirational character, who quietly gets on with the work that needs doing. This year has seen a change of direction for her, but a very exciting one at that, She's now a Director at Soshee who are developing a brilliant app Shokx, and its definitely going to be one to watch next year!
REVITALISE FITNESS
I tipped Amiee as one to watch and its been great to see her work grow or should I say shrink online over the last year. She's currently running a 12 days of Christmas fitness program which features a 30 minute workout, to get you in shape before the year is out! AND She's also due to be having a baby any day! Wow!
My next blog post is going to suggest next years people and businesses to watch, so, please nominate your favourites on here, I'd love to hear them.
