KATHRYN'S STORY
" NOW I HAVE FOCUS AND TARGETS"
Kathryn had been trading for a period but had no support network or focus in her everyday. Our weekly calls and workshops gave her the ability to structure her calendar. Now her days have a system to work from.
AILISH'S STORY
" THE STEP BY STEP ON WHAT TO DO, TO GET THE BEST OUT OF OUR BUSINESSES."
Ailish kids had left the nest and she was finishing her longtime career to follow her dream of being an artist. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she could achieve as much as she had over the last 2 years since joining The Factory.
ELMARIE'S STORY
" STEP BY STEP GUIDES - UNBELIEVABLE. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER "
Elmaire & Charlie Mahon have built an established ceramic brand with a manufacturing unit and retail space. Elmarie is implementing each training in order using our accountability & focus sessions.
FIONA'S STORY
" MY BUSINESS WAS GOING NOWHERE - FAST! NOW I HAVE FOCUS "
Fiona was already working on her business but not seeing any results when she signed up. Fiona used what she learnt to up-skill & improve her processes, allowing her to land media, awards and a better grasp on selling.
HELEN'S STORY
" I AM TWO YEARS AHEAD OF WHERE I THOUGHT I'D BE"
Helen had spent years working hard creating ceramic pieces for markets. Growing but not doing what she really wanted. Now she has ditched her production line and had her first sell out solo show - focusing on gallery and collectors. Doing what she LOVES!
HELEN'S STORY
" FINDING SOMEONE THAT GRASPS WHAT I DO IS INVALUABLE"
Helen was out of the 'art world' for years lacking in confidence with zero network. By joining The Factory, she developed her glass practice and secured her very own kiln.

"The Factory has truly transformed my approach to business. I always struggled to connect with the right audience and achieve my goals consistently. Thanks to Tara's guidance, I've not only learned how to capture the attention of the right people but also gained the confidence to navigate this journey successfully."
OLA
Stories By Ola - Ceramicist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The Factory has completely changed my business, in fact I I wouldn't be where I am today, without it. I am forever grateful to Tara and all my 'colleagues' ☺️. If I am stuck there's always someone to bounce ideas off of and give advice. When you're a solo entrepreneur, that's absolutely priceless!"
LOUISE O HARA
CULU Design - Jewellery designer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Every week, Tara has helped me to focus on what’s important, and to do things in the right order. Sincerely, I can’t praise the Biscuit Factory highly enough to do them justice. Joining up was a bigger turning point than I hoped or imagined. If you’re thinking about joining, do it!
ARDEN O REILLY COUNAHAN
GUITAR CARDS - Musician ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
" The factory is brilliant. The one thing I hated about being self employed was not being able to trouble shoot with anyone. I always have questions & the best thing about the factory is the Q&As twice a week where Tara will help with absolutely any questions. Best money I’ve spent on my business, highly recommend."

OH MY GOODNESS BAKES - Healthy snacks creator ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
