Words from our client:

“Chloe goes above and beyond for her clients, especially ones like me that are not technically minded. Her content creation is first class and she delivers week on week helping my social media foot print to continue to successfully grow. I trust her 100% to put the right content out that won’t harm the reputation of the business. Chloe has also designed me an amazing new website.

I wanted to enhance the brand of my business to increase footfall through social media with the emphasis on quality produce, reduction in our carbon footprint and sustainability. Chloe got this perfect and as a result we have seen a significant increase in footfall, been recognised by the NFFF and have been named if the top 40 Best Fish and Chip shops in the UK.”

“I believe Chloe would be a great ambassador for other young people to follow in her footsteps. Starting your own company is very daunting especially when you are young. Her business is testament to her hard work and her aspiration to achieve in life. As a fellow business owner I can’t praise her enough for the support she has given my business.”

— Craig, Owner of Two Gates Fisheries
