February Business of the Month In the Spotlight: BoscoBear

February 2, 2012 By Cas Leave a Comment

Our February, 2012 Business of the Month is BoscoBear! Tell us a little about the person behind the business: I have three children, twins that are 4 (turning 5) and a two-and-a-half year old. I live in Melbourne but started my business in Sydney. I am a bit of a workaholic and outside of work, cannot get enough sport into my life (netball, cricket, AFL, cycling, tennis–I will watch it all). I love running, although do not do it as much as I would like to and I play netball/tennis. I also enjoy studying search engine optimisation (SEO) in my spare time…which is a little weird because I have no spare time. Why SEO? I cannot answer.

In the Spotlight: BronzBeadz

November 16, 2011 By Cas Leave a Comment

Tell us a little about the person behind the business? My name is Bron and I have always been interested in crafts. When I was 16 my dad bought me a small kiln and I started experimenting with enameling. I later moved onto ceramics and have progressively tried many aspects of crafting over time. To keep me entertained while I was developing various crafting skills, I enjoyed a successful career in teaching, accounting and small business management. Now I work from home and the ratio of handcrafting far exceeds the allure of balance sheets.
