I was recently at the graduation of the first SSE programme in Aston. For those of you who missed me writing about this previously, it was a really moving day, and an amazing bunch of inspiring people to meet and learn from. [8 completed the
programme, 7 of whom are women, 6 BME, all previously unemployed] One of that new group of SSE Fellows is Vivean Pomell, who is launching her new business this Wednesday in Edgbaston.
The business, Brynels Hats and Accessories, is named after her mum who died earlier this year, and will be launched by Birmingham’s Deputy Lord Mayor and Jo Cameron from the Apprentice (for those of you who don’t remember her). Vivean is an amazing woman, and committed to providing support to those with specific hat/hairpiece needs (be that after hairloss, or bereavement etc.) as well as pursuing high-end fashion: indeed, she recently displayed at London Fashion Week with extraordinary work.
So well worthy of support if you are in the Midlands on Wednesday…., and worth drawing attention to as one of the more unusual businesses to have come through an SSE programme.
