Testimonials 

Thank you for the module, Millinery Business, 10 weeks spent online with a lovely group, working through a business course specific to millinery.  It was a roadmap with practical elements that could be implemented straight away.  The course is full of information to put into use and use straight away.  Thank you Jenny and Marie for a wonderful course.
Mary, Australia

Jenny and Marie are unequivocally generous in sharing their knowledge, skill and expertise. This has been an invaluable 10-week course teaching me the business know how and, all the tricks of the trade for me to finally take the plunge and start my millinery business. In a very safe environment, Jenny and Marie provided guidance, reassurance and support which built my confidence and encouraged amazing comradery between everyone who also attended the course, all of which have been truly inspirational. Thank you.
Torie aka Victoria Frances

I think like a lot of people who see themselves as makers and creators, the business side of being a milliner was something that really worried me. However, having taken many of Jenny’s classes before and having total faith in the calm and communicative way she teaches, taking a business course run by her was an easy decision for me. At no point did I feel overwhelmed, on the contrary I felt eager and excited to learn more. I now feel confident in going forward with a business plan that I can make totally unique to me thanks to Jenny

A Testimonial to “The Business of Millinery” with Jenny Roberts

(The Rhyme of an Aged Milliner) – That was a gift from Susan!

Procrastination’s my skill, it’s Olympian level.
Making hats is my pleasure, a role that I revel.
The “Business of Millinery” was ignored; you could tell.
As the hats and hat boxes, continued to swell.

I need to sell my creations to lovers of hats
Where they naturally fit, with their habitat.
So, I signed up with Jenny, who shares many skills.
Procrastination no more, I can do this. I will.

With Goals, Values, Objectives and Marketing too
Competition and SWOT – a language I knew.
Understanding Customers and Products, I was back in my zone.
Service then Branding – it’s like being at home.

Planning, forecasting and doing the maths.
Remember – I was happy, just making my hats.
Ideas shared easily, not an ego in sight.
A millinery of hatters, seeing the light.

Social media came next, a whole new world opened.
Will we have time to create, we’ll be too busy posting,
Planning, reviewing, a website a goal.
Moving forward with speed, no longer a stroll

Support groups created, questions are posed,
Ideas, solutions are quickly proposed,
Our confidence grows, there’s belief in our craft,
This Business of Millinery course – It’s so very apt….

So, if you have pondered, questioned, considered
It just takes a call to have your answers delivered,
10 weeks isn’t long, your head may explode,
It just might be the route for your millinery road.
