Did you know there's a Small Business section in The Times? We didn't until they came knocking!

UK’s oldest umbrella maker seeks leader to preserve 200-year craft

The article was published on Friday 27th Feb - and you'll find us in the online Business section. Apologies for the pay wall. Great putting the spotlight on us small businesses - the back bone of the British economy.

However as a small business it's hard to keep up and keep evolving to stay efficient. The world is constantly changing around us so it's great when help is offered, backed up with knowledge and expertise. We know lots about making umbrellas and traditional craft skills - we know much less about the latest tech and whizzy ways of digitalising our job sheets and getting our umbrellas flying aruond the workroom - without Mary Poppins magically clicking her fingers and reaching into her carpet bag. Fortunately @madesmarter and @growlondonlocal have offered their assistance. So fingers crossed and lets get us growing!
