My name is Scott Hughes and I run a plumbing and heating business.
How did you find Purple Shoots?
I found Purple Shoots through the Development Bank of Wales at a time when I was looking to properly establish and grow my business.
How did Purple Shoots help?
From the very start, the support was straightforward, supportive, and tailored to what I actually needed.
With help from Purple Shoots, I was able to secure funding for a van, new tools, and the necessary insurances to operate professionally and confidently. This support made a huge difference, as it allowed me to take on more work, present a more professional image, and focus on growing the business rather than worrying about upfront costs.
The process was clear and well explained, and I felt completely supported.
How has this impacted your life?
Thanks to Purple Shoots, I’m now in a much stronger position and better equipped to move my business forward and having my own van and newer tools will mean that I am able to do more work, improve family finances and come off benefits.
What would you like to say to those who support PS with donations and investment to enable us to do the work we do?
I’d like to thank the investors and people that donate to purple shoots as they help people like me turn their dreams into a reality.
