This service works by allowing you post a task you need completed, specify your budget and then relax and wait for the response of willing angels within our trusted network who are keen on completing these tasks for you.
Natalie Pierce-Jones (Fairypants), ChesterFairypants is a complete range of dresses, corsets, fairy tutus, jewellery and accessories, all handmade by me. I offer a bespoke service from start to finish, along with a large selection of 'off the peg' items. For example, my customers can see a dress that I have designed and made, then they can alter it to suit their purpose. This is perfect for customers who want a bespoke dress, but have no idea where to start when designing it themselves.
Alexander Robinson (Trendring), SouthamptonMy business is a personalised review website, connecting social networking and ecommerce. People’s confidence to make shopping decisions is strongly influenced by their friends and family, who often accompany them to the shops. However, when buying online there is usually no opportunity to discuss prospective purchases with friends, as they are not present.
Lorna Syson, CoventryCreates hand-made sculptural textiles for home soft furnishings from my Midlands based studio. Also works on larger scale installations for hotels, shop decor and interior designers, offering a completely unique and bespoke service.
Conrad Thornton (Green Street Media), SheffieldGreen Street Media is a green, eco-friendly marketing company offering pavement advertising across every city in the UK. We etch adverts into any hard stone or concrete surface from pavements to walls. The only cleaning fluid we use is H2O – pure clean water.
