Series 1, Episode 4

This episode I have the pleasure of chatting to Vicky Gawith, entrepreneur, supporter of creatives, and founder of Merseymade, a home to the talent, products and produce of some of Merseyside’s most original creatives and artisans.

And I love Vicky’s absolute honesty about her experience of opening a business, opening just months before Covid – from crying with joy and overwhelm on Christmas Eve 2019 when she realised that her dream had become a reality that she was now responsible for seventeen members of staff and over 100 independent creatives, to three  months later when she cried in fear and despair as the government announced the closure of all non-essential businesses.  She admits that the challenges of her first year in business have taken their toll, but she says, ‘I’m glad I didn’t know what was to come because I may not have done it – but not to have tried would have been worse.”

Interview recorded in November 2020. First broadcast on 8th January 2021
