Sara Dewhurst, MD, Lytham Gin.
I was extremely lucky to have Louise assigned as my mentor by Boost Lancashire and to work with her to build my business. Louise is extremely knowledgeable and has a wealth of experience to draw on. She challenged me to set goals and really think about how I wanted my business to develop. She helped me determine some very successful routes to market and has given me ideas on how to maintain relationships with my customers and drive sales. My business has gone from strength to strength and Louise has played an important part in my success.

From this understanding she gave us a continuous sequence of suggestions and of practical help by putting us together with experts.
