Diverse Hampers Wins New Business Competition
The hamper business does seem to have been getting rather stale of late - so it’s quite nice to hear about someone challenging the market.
That’s what Nicki Stewart has attempted do with her Diverse Hampers. After diversifying out of stationery Nicki decided to offer offer a fresh, high quality and stylish alternative to the traditional wicker basket filled with cheeses and ham. The company provides a collection of striking gifts in towers of boxes containing products from small, artisan producers in the UK. As a result Businesszone.co.uk awarded her the top spot in their new business award.
Our particular favourite is this delightful organic gift hamper.
Panelists judging the new business finalists at the presentation stage were Jonny Allatt, investment director at Zeus Private Equity, Modwenna Rees-Mogg, editor of Angel News, Samantha Fountain, founder of Shewee and Ben Heald, CEO at Sift.
Nicki adds: “Far from being accomplished in the art of presenting, I entered the competition with apprehension! However, I found the process of presenting to such an important audience an invaluable experience.”
