I set up Nola Gifts after being made redundant from One North East - where I was Regional Image PR Manager and have always worked within the PR/ Marketing sector. Sewing has always been my hobby however, so when I left ONE in April, I decided to combine my passion with my long-term goal of starting my own businesses. I am originally from Co. Wicklow, Ireland, but have been in the Norht East for over eight years now.
