A message from our gorgeous Claire Cooper.
🥳 THRIVE WOMEN… I HAVE KEYS INCOMING!
All being well, I’m signing the lease on my new salon premises this week and I get the keys next week!
Before I start advertising the available spaces elsewhere, I wanted to offer them here first.
I’ve been part of Thrive long enough to know there are loads of brilliant women in here either growing businesses, starting something new, changing direction or thinking “I’d love my own space, but I’m not quite ready to take on a whole premises.”
And that’s exactly why I thought of this group.
The new premises are right in central Taunton and spread over three floors. Obviously my hair salon will be a big part of it, but I really don’t want the building to just be a hair salon.
I’d love it to become a little hub of independent businesses and people who enjoy being around other people who are building something too.
I have different spaces that could potentially suit:
• Beauty, aesthetics or personal care
• Wellness or therapy
• An independent service-based business
• Office/consulting space
• Retail
• Someone who needs a professional base without taking on an entire premises
• Or something completely different that I haven't thought of!
I’m pretty open-minded about what goes in there. For me, the person and the fit matter just as much as the type of business.
You'd still have your own independent business and your own space, but without necessarily having that feeling of doing everything completely on your own.
So before I put the spaces out into the wider world, I thought I'd see whether there are any Thrive women who think “Ooooh actually … that could work for me!”
Or perhaps you know someone who would be a brilliant fit?
Drop me a message if you’re curious. You absolutely don't have to be ready to commit to anything. Come and have a nose around once I've got the keys and we can have a chat about what might work.
I'm ridiculously excited to finally get started! 🥳
