FOUR enterprising women opened the doors on new business ventures in Thurrock today (Sunday, 15 November) and Thurrock Nub News was there to join in the celebrations.

In Stanford-le-Hope Leonie Lloyd cut the ribbon on her new cosmetics and skin care business on the town's High Street,

And just down the road in Chadwell St Mary a trio of energetic ladies offered a warm welcome at their new cafe and takeaway venue, the Well on the Hill, which is on the parade of shops on the A128 Brentwood Road at the Cross Keys junction.

Trina O'Brien, Chloë Chloe and Sadie Obrien did a roaring trade on their first day.

If you have a business venture you would like to promote, contact Nub News and we will be delighted to highlight what you are doing.
