We support first-time founders to start and grow rewarding businesses, with our tailored support programmes to make you unstoppable.&nbsp;
Why?
My passion for business came from my mum and started in rural India - where I was born in the 1980s. My mum, speaking fluent Tamil, helped start <a href='https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-bristol-22764255' target='_self'>Bishopston Trading Co</a>, who pioneered Fair Trade organic cotton clothing.
I've seen first-hand the difference business can make to people and communities.
We specialise in supporting first-time founders with great ‘non-tech’ ideas, turning them into thriving businesses. We have supported over 200 people to start and grow their businesses.

&lt;p&gt;Hi, I&amp;rsquo;m Kathy Ennis&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I help dynamic, action-taking micro business owners who are not making the profit they deserve or dream of.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I help micro and side-hustle business owners transform their good ideas into a successful business. I enable them to create simple, sensible, achievable business plans and engagement marketing strategies that turn their passion into profit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I believe in developing strong relationships and working as a team to help your business flourish. If you are going to put your trust in me, you are going to want to know a bit more about the person behind the business, right?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, the first thing to say is that I help micro and side-hustle business owners who are not making the profit they deserve or dream of.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;ve had three business and 20-years of experience and I use that to help my clients undertake purposeful business planning that turns their passion into profit.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m also a highly experienced trainer, delivering fun, focussed sessions on key business and engagement marketing topics.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I was hand-picked by Enterprise Nation, to be an ambassador and to deliver training for the #SheMeansBusiness campaign they run in collaboration with Facebook.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;rsquo;m the author of The Big Social Media Marketing Organiser and The Five (and a Half) Steps to a Brilliant Brand; two books where I share some simple &amp;lsquo;how tos&amp;rsquo; that can help any business grow and flourish.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Oh, and why is my business called LittePiggy? It&amp;rsquo;s simple really. You know nursery rhyme &amp;lsquo;This Little Piggy Went to Market&amp;rsquo;? I help my clients develop an achievable vision for their business and create a marketing road map that turns their passion into profit. Together we get &amp;lsquo;off to market&amp;rsquo;!&lt;/p&gt;
