What Happens if we Lose: Speed Limit by Richard Masoner/Cyclelicious, www.flickr.com/photos/bike/4454230687

In the “Give Away” section of the Autumn Statement late last November, the Chancellor announced that £100m would be available to create 100Mbps urban networks in 10 cities. The four “capital” cities (London, Cardiff, Belfast and Edinburgh) are automatically on the list. Although presumably Edinburgh’s position is not as secure as it was. As the current and previous governments like to do, they are running a competition for the other six places. There is background information on Digitalspy and the BBC News site.

We are lucky that Adam Bird, of Esendex and Creative Class 2011 is involved in Nottingham’s bid. A bid which has to be in by 13 February since the winners will be announced in the budget just over a month later.

Adam has asked for help in convincing Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary, that Nottingham should be fill one of the six empty places on the list. In particular Adam has asked:

1. [for] Your horror stories about getting decent Internet connectivity to allow you to run your business. How is current market failing you?

2. How can we convince @Jeremy_Hunt that Nottingham should be a beneficiary of this program outside of the formal proposal process

Adam (@adambird) tweeted: “please @, DM or email me (adam dot bird at esendex dot com) with any case studies, thoughts, suggestions or offers of help”.  He has suggested the hashtag #supernottingham.

So over to you, Nottingham Creatives. Speed Thrills!

First up, the Build it Yourself project are holding a Creative Cafe at Antenna on 19 January. A regular event on the third Thursday of the month, January’s event is free to attend. Starting at 5.30 for 6pm, it’s a chance to let yourself go a bit (in the best possible sense) and get all creative… Tickets and details available via Eventbrite.

The very next day Skeleton Productions are holding a lunchtime webinar on video SEO best practice and how to implement it. Topics will cover what, why and how as well as top tips. Limited place so get in there by applying at this website.

Diary clashes on 27 January so you’ll have to make a choice between Esendex and the Tuttle Club’s Technology on Trial.

Esendex have a breakfast briefing on Business SMS. Running from 8.30-10am, you can get some breakfast (any chance of a bacon buttie?)  and the lowdown on how successful businesses like Ocado and Virgin Media are using SMS to transform their business and how you can too.Details, including venue and how to book, can be found on their website.

If that’s not your thing, you might like to head over to the Galleries of Justice for this month’s Technology on Trial. Have you thought about what will happen to all your online accounts when you die? (I know, not too cheerful but stay with me – it’s important) Tech on Trial this month will be examining Digital Legacies. So what will you leave behind? And will this be used (or even usable) for future generations of historians? Interesting…

27 January, 9.30-11.30am Galleries of Justice. Free Tickets through Event Brite.

Finally, if a massive sugar rush is your thing, get yourself in the Cake Eater’s Anonymous waiting list. The next meeting is 29th January at The Larder on Goosegate and tickets are available to the waiting list from tomorrow!!!

Just two opportunities this week, to ease you into 2012:

The Invest in Nottingham Club is repeating their Creative Class promotion of local creative businesses who really want to grow.  A small number of creative businesses will be selected for the Creative Class 2012.  As well as press and website promotion, there is mentoring support, networking and general help. In return they expect the business leaders to fully participate in their press opportunties and generally act as an ambassador for Nottingham.

The “class” of 2011 is a distinguished list, and you can see them at a special meeting in Nottingham Contemporary next Wednesday, 11 January at 6pm, and learn more about this opportunity.  For more information about the event or any questions, email Natalie Williams, the Invest in Nottingham Club co-ordinator at nw@nde.org.uk.  Or you could just apply online.

If you inspect the list of 2011, you will see it contains one of our guest bloggers, Susi Henson, of Eternal Spirits, who has emailed us about her plans to

to launch an inspiring show of creative talent at the International Design Festival Milan in April 2012. We are inviting local businesses of Nottinghamshire an opportunity to be part of it.

As well as enabling talented businesses and individuals to show themselves to their best in front of potential clients and stakeholders, the process will bring together a collaboration of like-minded and inspiring individuals to work together, share ideas and gain refreshment.

If you want to know more, there is a meeting at Nottingham University, Business School South, Jubilee Campus Room A26 on Wednesday 11th Jan at 6pm.  [Everything happens at 6pm next Wednesday, and some people will be in two places at once, apparently.] They would appreciate an R.S.V.P to info@davenportoriginal.com if you are planning to attend.

Who are you?

Kate Ferrucci, owner and creative director of Quarto Design, based in Beeston, Notts. I’m originally from the USA. Prior to living in Nottingham, I worked as a designer for a communications agency in Rome and at an Italian publishing house. I’m owner and creative director of Quarto Design, and design a wide variety of publications and printed literature for organisations and businesses around the world.

What brought you to Nottingham?

I’m originally from the States, lived in Italy for three years, and came to Nottingham two years ago with my partner who works at the University of Nottingham.

What keeps you in Nottingham?

Nottingham is relatively small but there is always something interesting going on. There is definitely a sense of community among creatives, which is nice to see and promotes collaboration. The city’s small scale makes it feels comfortable and it’s more vibrant than many other and even larger cities in the UK. Its central location makes it a perfect base from which to explore the rest of the country, and it’s nice to have a few international airports in close proximity.

What makes you different to other creative people in Nottingham?

My background is in graphic design, with a specialism in book and publication design. I enjoy working on a project from beginning to end – from conceptualisation, to design and layout, to fine tuning every serif and kern. Being a small business, it’s possible and necessary to see each job through from beginning to end, and it’s fulfilling to do so.

Every year, Quarto organises and designs a large-scale fundraising project. The projects are unique and are to benefit a different charity each year. This year’s project is called “Thinking of Homeland Japan” and benefits the Japanese Red Cross.

In late March 2011, I was scheduled to go to Japan on holiday just a few days after the tragic earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster struck Japan. The scale of the destruction is still unfathomable. A friend and I decided to organise an international art collaboration and invited twenty Japanese artists who live outside of Japan to participate, each of whom created an original work of art. All twenty artworks were reproduced as a set in a limited edition with the assistance of generous sponsors Antalis McNaughton and Apex Digital Graphics, and each set comes with an elegant wood frame designed by Quarto: http://thinkingofhomeland.wordpress.com/the-prints/.

Quarto is also is in the process of launching a new publication called Handwork that features people in the local community who work with their hands. It’s based on oral history interviews – talking with people about what they do and what led them to pursue their particular trade or line of work. The first issue will be published in early 2012.

As part of my other business, People to People Press, I’ve published two artists’ books, each letterpress-printed and hand-bound in a limited edition of fifty copies, based on oral history interviews with people who work with their hands (musicians and limestone quarry and mill workers), and am currently working on a third.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

In five years time, I’d like my business to be stronger and to be working with clients whose work is primarily focused on aspects of social and environmental responsibility, while still pursing pro bono work for good causes.

What do you wish you had more time for?

More collaborations with other creatives, both locally and internationally.

What keeps you awake at night?

Not very much.

What do you think is Nottingham’s best kept secret?

I love the Alley Café, which a good friend recently introduced me to and I’ve gone back to many times since. It’s an oasis in the middle of Nottingham and the food is amazing. The many alleyways and twitchells in Nottingham are full of hidden surprises like this!

Antenna is a thriving creative hub that I found out about this year and also where I’ve met many other like-minded creatives doing interesting things. I’m looking forward to being an active part of Antenna’s community in the new year.

What would you like to see more of in Nottingham?

Less bars and more cultural venues. It would be wonderful if there were a working museum or other place in the city centre where information about and machinery utilised in industries that played (and, in some cases, that continue to play) an important role in Nottingham’s rich heritage could be displayed such as lace-making, framework knitting and bicycle manufacturing, to name just a few.

The Lace Centre, once located in the 15^th-century Severns Building across from Nottingham Castle, closed in 2009 – shortly before I arrived, and the Industrial Museum at Wollaton Hall always seems to be closed. A centrally-located venue where information about this and other industries is made available would certainly be of interest to residents and visitors alike (as well as a place to buy locally-made lace and other products, beyond the few products on offer at the Nottingham Visitors Centre) and would draw more tourists to the city. A showing of Jeanie Finlay’s excellent documentary on Cluny Lace at Nottingham Contemporary several months ago and discussion afterwards noted the need for apprentices to keep the industry going locally and to pass knowledge on from one generation to the next. The lack of interest by young people may be a result of not knowing about the industry.

GH Hurt & Son is just down the road from where I live and I popped in during a recent Heritage Open Day a few months ago. The family-owned business established in 1912 produces gorgeous hand-finished scarves and shawls. Their hand frames are still in use and a demonstration by a young skilled worker revealed the great dexterity required to operate this complex machine, developed through an apprenticeship. The attendance at the event was high, with a queue virtually out the door, so there is certainly interest in knowing more about this and other local industries that are now on the fringe.

What Big thing are you currently working on?

Thinking of Homeland Japan, which you can read more about at: www.thinkingofhomeland.wordpress.com/about/. It makes a beautiful and unique Christmas present! And most importantly, all profits go the Japanese Red Cross.

Also, a journal for a UN agency based in Rome.

Emma is pretty handy with hairstyling but we needed specialists in for the open day, and called upon our friends Heebie Gee Bees, from Newcastle. Having been long time friends of Emma’s and super talented and enthusiastic ladies, we couldn’t wait to have them on board with us for the day. What’s even better is that as both of them have vast knowledge and experience of modelling and performing, they could also bring their skills to the dressing table in regards to styling, posing and general confidence. All round win, I’d say!

We also brought in Aislinn from BooBooKitty Couture,. She set herself up a rail of gorgeous dresses, her dolly Doris and brought her sewing along to make some last minute bits and pieces for a craft fair later in the evening; she really never stops working!

We had some early starts and late nights (including a craft fare/Speedkings gig to attend on Saturday night!), some tears from girls who couldn’t believe their makeovers, cuddles, lots of high fives, energy drinks, cookies, snuggies on radiators, cupcakes from Amy (hell yeah!), endless cups of tea (Hannah is brilliant), goodie bags, ratties, girls celebrating birthdays and divorces, and some that just wanted to feel good about themselves! Here’s a little selection of the behind the scenes photos we gathered.

So to a few thank yous; BooBooKitty Couture, Heebie Gee Bees, Toby Kennedy, Make Up Academy, Arcanum Accessories, Synergy Therapies, Rampant Ink, Deadly is the Female, Rockalily, Hoocie Coochie Club, Miss Fortune and Snitches Get Stitches!

Days like that are a precious rarity to me; when you’re going flat out but smiling and laughing the whole while, each person bringing their own special technique, style and brilliance to the table. Your back might ache, your shoulder might be creaking and your feet’ll be on fire but nothing compares to the smile (and sometime, tears!) of a girl who beams from ear to ear when they see themselves made up. It’s my dream to do this full time, and weekends like this motivate me to work harder to make it real…

Who are you?
I’m Sali Jones, I’m a freelance make-up artist from Wales living in Nottingham, going by the name of Ms Moo Make Up. I’m also one half of Flashes and Lashes, a make-over team producing high quality pin-up and vintage photoshoots for all. I’m also a stepmum to a little boy of 6, and complaint handler for a well known energy provider based in the city… busy is not the word!

What brought you to Nottingham?
I moved here in 2006 to get away from my hometown and get some life experience (read ‘I fell for a boy but it didn’t work out’) and couldn’t be happier to still be here. My home town didn’t have much going for it, and after a taste of life at university in Coventry (too much of a taste of life, in came in pints and distracted me from seminars!) I needed to get away from home again. So I saved, and moved in March 2006!

What keeps you in Nottingham?
Bloody lovely people; mostly my wonderful little family and secondly, my super awesome business partner, Emma aka Miss Rain. I made her move to Nottingham from Newcastle a few years ago so it’d be rude to leave her now! It’s also full of really lovely people, and central to everyone else in the UK. Got to love the Midlands!

What makes you different to other creative people in Nottingham?
It’s hard to miss that there’s a lot of creativity in Nottingham, especially in my areas of modelling and photography, but I believe I’m one of the only established make-up artists on the alternative scene in the area. I’ve done a lot of fashion and beauty work, working with some fab local talent and further afield, as well as recently taking on more bridal work too. We’ve also now got Flashes and Lashes, giving the personal touch that a lot of the makeover photostudios in Nottingham and the surrounding areas lack.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
Running Flashes and Lashes full time with Emma would be pretty special for me, and having gone and attended a full time make-up course at a specialist creative school in London. I also want to take on more bridal work, but keep my hand in fashion and beauty make-up. Basically, everything that I’m doing right now but full time!

What do you wish you had more time for?

Watching football and being by the sea – I’m usually at shoots/weddings on Saturdays so I don’t get to watch Sky Sports News and my chap doesn’t like football so I don’t always get to catch up with Match of the Day either! I also really love the seaside, and being by water. Kind of shot myself in the foot moving to somewhere called ‘The Midlands’ but until I can retire and live by the sea, Attenborough Nature Reserve will have to do for now.

What keeps you awake at night?
Very little! I can sleep anywhere and everywhere, and will do given any opportunity or not fed energy drinks/tea at regular intervals.  No, really; I love my sleep!

What do you think is Nottingham’s best kept secret?
Flashes and Lashes; we’re going to sweep you off your feet! *wink* That and the pockets of hard working alternative groups and individuals; it’s encouraging and inspiring to see so many people working so hard for what they want, helping others out along the way and looking after each other. That’s valuable beyond measure.

What would you like to see more of in Nottingham?

More nights out! When I moved here, there were nights near enough every night of the week (Nightmare, Assault, Obsession, Magenta, Damage, Kryogenics etc) and even though I couldn’t keep up with going out each night, it’d be lovely to have more than one offer of a club night at the weekend. I also want to do some more touristy things in Nottingham; I’ve still not been to the Castle, having lived here 5 years. Sad.

What Big thing (project or event) are you currently working on?
Super massive promotion for Flashes and Lashes! We’ve literally just (as from 1 November!) took on a city centre studio in Hockley, with our great friend Toby Kennedy. So we’ll be working hard in there, and we’ve our studio open days on 19^th and 20^th (which I’ll be blogging about too!) and we’re looking to do some more around the country in 2012 when we’ve worked out the logistics of getting us there. Anyone wanting to come to us in the mean time is more than welcome though, we’ll get the kettle on and the cupcakes out!

The range of enterprises these women have ventured into are immense from photography, writing, sewing and jewellery designing and making through to creating art with fused glass, children’s cookery classes, personal branding, setting up a bakery and producing 2D and 3D casts of baby’s feet and hands, pregnancy bumps and hand and finger prints in silver. Here is a snapshot of just a few Nottinghamshire mums who are juggling parenthood with meeting their own creative needs and carving successful businesses from it.

• Tonniann Harwood, mum of four, runs Knot Just Jigs selling a range of products, including traditional toys, rag dolls, jigsaws, bunting and fabric party bags to name a few. She sells on and offline at events in and round Nottinghamshire and is very proud to offer handmade and personalised products. She is a huge supporter of small business within this area and is on the steering group of one of the craft show organisations.

• Liana Stevens followed her passion to set up local business Star Bakery in 2008 specialising in creating unique cakes and bakes for all occasions after her first child was born. She is also in the process of merging with a fellow Nottingham based cake business to form a new business, Swirls bakery, concentrating on large volume cake orders with national delivery options. Liana thinks her eldest child is her best marketing asset as he is always telling people she makes cakes!

• Mama Jewels have amassed several Industry awards since they were established in 2009 and owner, and mum of two, Amanda Waring has created a very unique and niche brand in a competitive market which is going from strength to strength. Amanda also founded the Nottinghamshire Mumsclub networking group which provides a forum for mums to get together and share ideas in a child friendly, open environment.

• Since becoming a mother in 2010 Emma Owen made the decision to leave her career as a secondary school Art teacher in the city to concentrate on her hobby creating art in painted and fused glass and set up her business EmArt. She works whenever time allows although usually in the evenings, when her husband is at home or when her son sleeps. Emma has had work exhibited around the City and currently is selling products at ArtWorks in Chilwell and at Alan Woolley’s art and craft fairs around Nottingham throughout the year.

• Emma Wilsher’s love of photography was inspired by her children and she treasured capturing every detail of moments and milestones they achieved before branching out to realise the dream of having her own business Emma Wilsher Photography last year. Emma captures special memories and moments for individuals, couples and families to cherish. Her work includes lifestyle portraiture, location shooting, wedding photography and studio sessions.

• Recent winner of Theo Paphitis’s “Small Business Sunday” on Twitter, Bambino Beads is run by Notts creative Helen Keightley. Her jewellery for children from 3 years and over can be personalised and fastens with a magnetic clasp, making it easy to remove. Her collection was inspired by her twin boys who liked to borrow her jewellery to dress up, and she quickly spotted a gap in the market for fun, safe accessories for children.

• Nottinghamshire born and bred writer Becky Goddard-Hill is a published author of of “How to afford time off with your baby” (Vermilion 09) and runs several successful blogs including www.babybudgeting.co.uk, www.family-budgeting.co.uk and www.bookreviewsformums.co.uk. She decided to leave her career as a child development trainer for Social Services to concentrate on writing as it offered flexibility with a young family.

• Alexia Leachman was already self employed as a personal brand coach and head trash liberator, offering creative workshops and training in the area, before becoming a mother, with her business Headtrash. She has worked in the County with owners of creative agencies, photographers and writers to help them be better versions of themselves. As she says “the creative mind is brilliantly creative at being distracting!”. Since having her first child last year Alexia had to make significant changes to her business model, the range of services and her working hours to allow for her change in circumstances. This, however, has allowed her to open up new avenues, creating a number of digital products offering the ability to work with people all over the world, rather than face-to-face.

• Blueberries junior Cooking Company, another winner of Theo Paphitis’s “Small Business Sunday” was launched last year by Bernadette Lawley offer fun, cookery parties, workshops and courses for children in addition to selling a range of children’s cookery equipment and cookery themed party bags via the website and stands at various craft fairs. At Blueberries Junior Cooking Company, the emphasis is on using quality ingredients and devising creative menus and course formats so that children learn a wide range of cookery skills in a fun environment. Bernadette’s son has also got involved in the business developing and producing the original artwork for the website, the party invitations, menu cards and advertising material which they worked on together helping make Blueberries a real family business!

• Nicola Kelsall, runs Precious Memories Nottingham, who create 2D and 3D casts of baby hands and feet in addition to older children, adults and pets and also silver fingerprint jewellery and baby bump casts. Nicola, who left her teaching career when she became a mum five years ago, works part time juggling the work around her family commitments and also volunteering as a breastfeeding peer supporter.

With female entrepreneurship under the spotlight as business community network Everywoman and the Federation of Small Businesses partner up on the Real-Life Entrepreneurs campaign, pressure is on the government to place targets to raise the number of female entrepreneurs in the UK. The groups claim that 150,000 start-ups would be created each year if women started businesses at the same rate as men.

Getting the work-life balance right is something these women have had to work hard to achieve, particularly as many have young children and don’t want to sacrifice missing out on the precious early years. This often means getting up before the children to fit in a couple of hours work in the morning and continuing when they have gone to bed in the evening. Even though they may be working long, and often unsociable, hours it means that the quality time they have with their children is even more precious.

Working from home or in a studio alone can also be quite an isolating experience so child friendly networking groups and conferences provide much needed interaction and support and are essential in allowing these mums to share ideas and experiences. If you are a mum in business, or thinking of starting a business, Nottinghamshire Mumsclub’s next meeting is on Tuesday 15 November at Broomhill SureStart Centre in Hucknall. If you would like more details or to book a place, Amanda can be contacted on 07720 890552 or amanda@mamajewels.co.uk

Pitching Your Business

Who are you?
I have a full time day job that I love, I work to help protect our environment, though I prefer to say “I’m saving the planet!” At the Hackspace I’m a member like everyone else though I’ve been voted in as a trustee. It’s great that we can all help each other create such an inspirational workspace!
Nottingham Hackspace is the largest UK Maker or Hackerspace. A Hackerspace is a workshop filled with the tools and infrastructure needed to be able to make or build pretty much anything you can imagine. We have 70 members who share their knowledge and experience or just enjoy hanging out or making things. Anyone can become a member and you can work on your own or collaborate with others on a larger project.

What brought you to Nottingham?
I was born in Grantham and later lived in Lincoln. After University I worked in Lincoln for a very large and well know electricals company in a warehouse checking computer parts for faults. In 2000 they put me through the CompTIA A+ certification and I passed it. I asked them for a pay rise pointing out that colleagues at the Nottingham call centre with A+ were on a higher grade. They told me I’d better go to Nottingham if I wanted that rise. So I did and 10 years later I’m still here.

What keeps you in Nottingham?
It’s big enough a city to have a buzz, it’s own culture and that cosmopolitan feel without being so big you get lost in it and don’t know anyone. The city can still surprise me after 10 years here. It really is a very beautiful place… besides didn’tyou know it has the UK’s largest Hackerspace?

What makes you different to other creative people in Nottingham?
I think we aren’t that different to some of the shared spaces in Nottingham though I think we have a different background. The Nottingham Hackspace is about infrastructure rather than projects. I have no idea about funding nor the will or time to look into it. The Nottingham Hackspace is entirely run on the membership payments, meaning every member has bought into the space, there are no handouts or subsidies, and because people “pay-what-they-like” they have to think about what to pay and know they can afford it.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
In five years time we’ll have a bigger Hackerspace with a very wide range of tools and equipment. In five years the space will include experimental kitchens, a
laboratory for biohacking and chemistry as well as a loading bay and garage area where you’ll be able to build your open source car. Young Hackspace (a
proposed program for younsters) will already have been a success bring in a new  generation of enthusiastic young hackers to take the space into it’s next 5 to 50
years.

What do you wish you had more time for?
I’d like more time to learn skills, I’d like to be really good at wood work and metal work in particular and will try and put more time aside to learn in the future.

What keeps you awake at night?
Nothing.

What do you think is Nottingham’s best kept secret?
I dislike this question.

What would you like to see more of in Nottingham?
More promotion of science and engineering and it’s possibilities as both an educational, social and not to mention creative force.

What Big thing are you currently working on?
We are in the process of setting up one of the rooms at the space as a co-working room.
