Name: The Pud Store
Based: Nottingham
Website: www.thepudstore.com
We are a children’s outlet store. We’re tidy, clean and organised with a boutique edge. As a new business with three shops we are always looking to improve the way in which we can run our business more effectively. It’s hard work but we are loving the challenge. We run regular training days in store for our staff, covering everything from personnel matters to brand knowledge.
My co-director runs the social media side of the business whilst I maintain the accounts. We both have designated suppliers we work with and build relationships with, ensuring better prices and pieces.
Our staff are given sales targets which, if reached, are rewarded. Staff help plan and run events evenings with a financial reward based on takings to enthuse and inspire. We really believe in our company being a team effort with rewards both financially and socially.
Rachel Mawby is director of The Pud Store
