I have known Vanessa Wright for a few years now, and watched her shop Preloved of Brighton go from strength to strength. Vanessa shares her journey from social worker to setting up a preloved fashion store 10 years ago, that has become a much loved community hub in the city of Brighton & Hove. She shares her wisdom and insight into what it takes to succeed as a small business, why it matters to stay true to your own vision and be brave enough to go against the flow. This conversation is gold for anyone thinking about setting up their own small business, and Vanessa also shares what she predicts we will see in retail and fashion in coming years.
