Samantha Hamilton – Balloon Art

I started this business off the back of always being the go-to-person in the family for decorating parties. I am a mum to a 3-year-old little boy and this was what drove me to create Bubbles. I wanted all his milestone events to look spectacular, so I took the leap and started creating masterpieces for him and our family and friends. 

Starting the business was not as straight forward as I thought it would be and I soon realised that I would need some guidance and funding to help buy some of the bigger items needed and for some marketing resources. This was my biggest obstacle but thankfully I was introduced to Jan who helped me in ways I did not even think possible, helping to make my dreams become a reality.

The support I received from Restart and Momentic has been amazing. They showed me that I can do this. Jan at Momentic found me courses to attend which helped with my confidence and showed me how to run a business and how to excel. I was given the amazing chance to present to the panel at Oldham council for the enterprise trust grant. This was £1000 to help start new businesses in the area. I attended the panel meeting and expressed my love and passion for Bubbles. They saw exactly what I saw and was accepted for the grant!!

I have used the grant to invest into my business in ways I only could have dreamed of. I have purchased frames for my balloons/backdrops that would have taken me months to save up for. I have always put most of the money into marketing my business. I am attending wedding fairs throughout the rest of the year and into the beginning of next year – this is hopefully going to get me onto the next step on my ladder. 

I have grown my self-confidence and belief in my business in the past few months and I am honestly so grateful for Jan and the team in helping me do so. The business is up & running and off to an amazing start. I cannot thank them enough. 

The future of my business is looking bright, and I cannot wait to see what is out there for me & Bubbles. 

Thank you to everyone involved at Restart & Momentic for helping me create the business of my dreams.
