Glittering success is on the cards for Birmingham businesswoman
Jayne Lloyd as she takes her home run card making and craft supply
business to a new level.
After setting up her company, JJD Cards, in January 2008 Jayne
has recently moved from a home office, with two rented storage
units, to a 1,300 sq ft unit at Sovereign Road at SEGRO's Kings
Norton Business Centre (KNBC), on a three year lease. The new
working space will include an office and storage rooms, as well as
a showcase area to display a wide range of card making and craft
supplies. The new premises will also be the perfect location for
hosting workshops, where delegates will gain ideas and techniques
for creating greeting cards for all occasions.
Jane Leedham, leasing manager for SEGRO, said: "We are pleased
to welcome JJD Cards to the Kings Norton Business Centre and wish
Jayne the best of luck with her new initiatives. Our flexible
leases provide the flexibility a small business needs and the 24/7
security service has really benefitted Jayne as it helps her feel
safer when she is working alone in the unit."
Jayne said: "What started off as a card making hobby has now
turned into a lucrative business. I like creating bespoke designs
with materials that are unique, high quality and good value for
money.
Over time, I've expanded the business by stocking innovative
products from leading manufacturers and suppliers such as Hunkydory
and Kanban.
I can now invite customers to come to my premises to see the
full range of products on offer, attend a workshop and join my
membership loyalty scheme.
"I chose KNBC because the flexible lease allows me to grow my
business. KNBC is centrally located and came highly recommended
from the other businesses on the site."
JJD Cards supplies bespoke materials for all kinds of craft
hobbies including card making, scrapbooking and parchment.
