Participant Stories: Gemma Richardson

One of Gemma’s lovely countdown cards.

Gemma joined Inspiring Enterprise via the University of Winchester and has set up a family business called Countdown Cards, selling innovative and fun cards counting down to children’s birthdays. Here she talks about her business and her time with Inspiring Enterprise

“My business idea started when my son was sad when boxing day came and he had no ‘windows to open!’ And it got me thinking 4 Year olds don’t usually understand the concept of a week and a card could be a really fun way to get them understanding how many sleeps to go to their birthday (and stop asking me!!!!) I first saw inspiring Enterprise posted a free session on FaceBook in a local residence page about managing money and got in contact. The Inspiring Enterprise probably meant the most to me when I spent time at the meet the mentor workshop sessions because you meet so may people with different opinions and can take on board lots of feedback. Someone was quite firm which was helpful than the normal cuddly and meeting up with Jane helped me get an actual plan and idea and actually see this as a business. An idea becomes different when you see it as a business. We all love a countdown so you can send some happy post with us”
