Client Success Story: Launch Pad Funding for Parents.
Hannah, a parent based in Ardgay, approached Work. Life. Highland seeking support through the Launch Pad program. She aspired to become a self-employed kiltmaker and required a start-up grant to complete a professional kiltmaking course and support with materials.
Work. Life. Highland guided Hannah through the application process, ensuring all necessary paperwork was completed and awarded her the full amount needed for the course. Additionally, Business Gateway helped her with setting up a website to market and sell her handmade kilts and tartan items.
Thanks to this support, Hannah now crafts bespoke kilts for Scottish celebrities (The Tartan Viking) and receives commissions from clients worldwide.
Her success exemplifies the impact of targeted funding (Launch Pad) and tailored business support in helping individuals turn their passion into a thriving career.
