'We are really proud to be recognised in this way. As a small business it is a great opportunity for us to showcase our innovative product in the business community and prove that we have a truly viable business.'

While Brolly Sheets has achieved great success there have also been challenges associated with being a small business.

Diane said:

'The team at WHK helped us lay down solid foundations for Brolly sheets and helped us through the early stages of our business by setting up the correct business structure and tax. Paying for good advice and setting up our accounting systems properly from the start is so important and has meant we are reaping the rewards for this now.

The most difficult thing about being a small business is finding the right staff to come on board when it's time to grow.  I had always heard of people saying that finding staff was a problem and it wasn't till we experienced this ourselves that I suddenly knew what they were talking about.

Of course juggling two young children and the demands of the business is an everyday balancing act as well!'

While Brolly Sheets started as a waterproof mattress protector for children the product range has grown and is now also available for seniors and people with special needs.
