Today is an important day for Snapdragon. In one fell swoop we are doubling the size of the workforce. I had interviews for a new member of staff on Friday and 2 of the candidates were so impressive in different ways that i couldn't choose between them.
As their skill sets are quite different, I decided to employ both.
So now I am tring to boost up the wood-burner to give both Kit and Emma a warm welcome.
Part of the aim of taking Snapdragon away from the kitchen table was to create local employment, so I am very pleased. I shall still be doing the freehand embroidery but I shall have help with the preparation (Kit), the sewing up (Isobel), & the invoicing, packing and dispatch (Emma) - while outside Fiona keeps everything going, planning to be open to he public again next year.
Its all a bit scary though - better keep those orders coming in . . .
