I'm a <a href='http://www.danmartinuk.com'>freelance content creator and event host</a> who helps small businesses and the organisations that support them. I have 18 years of experience as a small business journalist having interviewed hundreds of entrepreneurs from billionaires like Sir Richard Branson to the founders behind brand new start-ups. I've worked for a range of leading small business publications and support groups, most recently as head of content at Enterprise Nation where I was responsible for the prolific output of content on the company's blog and social media. I'm based in Bristol where I run and host regular events with the local small business community and have strong connections to major business organisations in the south west region. In total, I've hosted over 50 events; from intimate meet-ups to conferences with an audience of hundreds including events for international brands like Facebook and Xero. I'm also a big fan of podcasts having hosted Enterprise Nation's Small Business Sessions as well as lots of online events including Facebook Live interviews, webinars and three live web chats from inside 10 Downing Street. With my partner, I co-run Lifestyle District, a lifestyle blog focused on culture, art, theatre and photography.

I'm here to help. I'm volunteering free advice calls of up to an hour as part of the Recovery Advice for Business scheme, over the next 6 months. Please get in touch to see how I can help your business.&nbsp;

An enterprising business woman recognised for building high-level strategies that drive the exponential growth of business from the ground up. By combining over 30 years’ experience with a knowledge of the fashion industry, sourcing, product development and people, I support both start-ups and large retail organisation by being flexible, market turnaround and innovation. 

?? In 1982, I founded and launched my first company, Lace Lady Ltd, in the area of Home Furnishings, specialising in white cotton, handmade lace bed and table linen. I redesigned many of these products into high end fashion garments and bed linen, a first of its kind in the market, and developed the start-up into a £1.5m company within the first five years. By leveraging my extensive insight into global markets, I have fostered strategic partnerships with both Chinese corporates and major UK retailers to deliver significant operational expansion. I have also developed a wholesale and consultancy service, which offers design, sourcing, pricing and importing assistance. 

?? Since then, I have built  the Beth Jordan brand, with an emphasis on elegant styling and endurance to drive longevity in an everchanging industry landscape. The Beth Jordan brand has been instrumental in the response to Covid-19, having aided local shelters, hospices and the NHS with essentials PPE.

?? At the heart of everything I do, is a strong belief in responsible sourcing, manufacturing, fair trade practice, innovation and design. As a flexible and focused leader, I have navigated challenging economic climates, market trends and trading situations successfully and steered my business through  making key strategic changes to ensure operational functionality  and regrowth, always  looking towards a bright future.  

?? I am currently seeking to utilise my experience by advising and coaching start-ups or small businesses in need of strategic guidance or sourcing expertise. If you are interested in hearing more about how I can support you or your business, feel free to contact me  for an initial conversation.

I am further able to help with design and sourcing out of India and China for the fashion and home market and can assist Companies in finding manufacturers for these products 

?? Would love to hear from  retailers, small start up businesses and  individual or Companies looking to improve, diversify or looking for a change of direction.
