Shannon approached Purple Shoots for a loan when no one else would help her with funding to get stock and to be able to start up a business. After a childhood in care with adopted & then foster parents and a number of years working, Shannon realised her health would be better if she could work for herself at home, working when she is able and doing something she loves. Getting a dog – Emmy – to help her health made her realise that a business connected to dogs was something she would like to do.

Her new business will manufacture dog collars, dog leashes & dog traffic handles and she is all set and ready to launch now that she has the funds to do it..
She is on Instagram as Emmyandco2024.
Her website is http://emmyco.co.uk and you can follow her adventures with Emmy on Instagram at Adventures.with.emmy
It was one of her followers on Instagram who introduced her to Purple Shoots as she knew they helped those struggling to get finance to start businesses as this follower had seen an article about it from someone in the Single Mums Business Network.
