The Day 'Detola met a Dragon

I never believed it would happen in my lifetime  

Yass!!! I finally met a real life "Dragon" ...  

I mean of the "Dragon Den" kind.  

Been a long time coming as I won Theo Paphitis's Small Business Award back in Sep 2016. Finally made it to Birmingham last week Friday to pick up my award in person.  

Was also glad to part of this year's "Small Business Sunday's" 10th Anniversary event. 

Oh what a day Mr Paphitis put on for us SBS winners. So insightful. 

Thanks Funke for being my forever "wing-woman" all the way from Canada!  

(Will share more images later).

Wonder why it took me over 3 years to attend this awesome event?

Definitely back next year!

When Detola & Geek Popped Up in Canary Wharf

One of my goals for 2019 was to host/hold more "Pop Up Shops" in different venues & cities/towns.

This dream came true recently. As early as in the 1st quarter of this year! The Universe surely has my back, believe.

I do like taking "Detola & Geek" on the road. Being flexible and able to work in different settings is amazing to say the least. Just the same when I sell in person at handmade/craft fairs. 

That email out of the blue from Standard & Poor Global (S & P Global) London caught me totally unawares. They reached out to my teeny weeny handmade independent business to see if I was interested in having a Pop Up Shop. I couldn't have been happier and of course I said YES. 

Here are some images from the in-house event on 27th March 2019.

Also, Detola and Geek donated a portion of it's takings on the day to S & P's nominated Charity - Mind.

Can't wait to be back again, sometime soon :-)
