WelcomeHello everyone,Welcome to this new edition of Business�Home magazine and a huge thank you to our new sponsors
who have placed an advert or a voucher within our magazine. The Charity hopes you all make the most
of these vouchers, offers and the opportunity of placing your business with local people who have a real
commitment to offering value for money.
Business�Home can also be downloaded from our website www.followyourdreams.org.uk, so after
you’ve used your vouchers from the magazine you can go online and download more vouchers time-
after-time-after-time, saving you money and helping our Charity and the local businesses that support it.
2011 has been a busy year so far with the Charity that has launched its largest fundraising campaign
ever, called Catch the Dream. This campaign was launched in the St David’s Centre Cardiff in January.
This inspirational campaign focuses upon catching 1000 dreams of youngsters with learning disabilities
throughout the UK.
Catch the Dream will be staging a series of workshops throughout the UK in some of the major
shopping centres, special needs schools, colleges, centres and groups working with some really special
youngsters to uncover their dreams, aspirations, hopes and desires. In 2011 we hope to catch 1000
dreams and with your support we trust we can help make them come true.
Our workshops also feature Britain’s Got Special Talent so as
Britain enjoys the Saturday night ritual of watching talent shows
like X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent etc, we believe youngsters
with learning disabilities should also have a platform to show off
their talent and we have created the platform to do just that. We
will be on the ‘search for a star’ and at the end of the year a grand
final will be held to find Britain’s most talented ‘special’ star.
We do hope you enjoy this new Business�Home magazine and
if you know someone in your area you feel would benefit from
being involved with us within the Charity as a sponsor or as a
beneficiary then do get in touch, we are just a phone call away
from making some really special dreams coming true together.
Cheerio!

Please can you help us to catch and make some special dreams come trueFollow Your Dreams has launched its largest fundraising campaign ever called Catch the Dream. It is a 3 year Campaign that will create a wave of inspirational goal setting by youngsters with learning disabilities throughout the UK, who are looking to explore and develop their potential in music, art, sport and drama.
Catch the Dream Campaign was launched in Cardiff in January 2011 and will now tour throughout the whole of 2011 and will visit over some of the major shopping centres, special needs schools, colleges, centres and groups throughout the UK, placing the Charity in the spotlight of over 7 Million people.
This tour incorporates ‘Britain’s Got Special Talent’ and we are looking to find Britain’s Special Star on our tour of the UK.
The aim of the Catch the Dream is to Catch 1000 Dreams for youngsters with learning disabilities throughout the UK and then to work in partnership with local fundraisers to help make those dreams come true.
Our Campaign enables us to work in advance of the tour with some special individuals within special needs schools, colleges, groups and centres helping them to discover their dreams, goals, hopes and aspirations, priming them to attend one of our many Catch the Dream events.
Each event is highly entertaining. Participants attend as a group and for around an hour during which they look at superstars and heroes with learning disabilities and unveil their dreams to us and hang their dreams on our giant dreams catchers.
As Britain enjoys the Saturday night ritual of watching talent shows like X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent etc, we believe youngsters with learning disabilities should also have a platform to show
off their talent and we have created the platform to do just that. Each school will be judged by 3 appointed judges and prizes awarded for their talent. Every child goes home with a goody bag and a BIG smile.
We will be on the ‘search for a star’ and at the end of the year a grand final will be held to find Britain’s most talented ‘special’ star. We are already in talks to try and get that person to star on one of our TV favourites for 3 minutes of fame. This could all be possible thanks to you.

Who are you and what do you do?
I am Graham de Vall and I care about the world
around me and I’m sure you care too, don’t you?
What I’m not is some sort of eco-warrior! What
I do believe however is that we can easily take
steps to reduce the impact we have on the world
around us. After all, I reckon we are all guilty to
some extent of helping to pollute it.
I’ve always been vaguely conscious of the impact
I have on the environment. My dad always
nagged us about turning lights off when we left
the room (although I reckon this was probably
more for financial reasons than anything else)
and I joined the Scout Association as a Cub when
I was 8 years old. In the Scouts, amongst other
things, we learnt to care about the countryside
and making sure we left no litter.
Over the years I’ve always tried to maintain these
disciplines but never really expanded on them….
life’s been too busy for that and there have been
other priorities. Does this sound familiar? I
suppose I’ve become more aware of the impact I
have over the last 5 years or so and have tried to
be a bit more proactive, recycling more, growing
my own fruit and veg and that sort of thing – but
don’t you find that it’s not made easy for you? I
certainly have.
And then I discovered Wikaniko (pronounced
We Can Eco) It’s now easy to get all your eco
friendly stuff from one place. I was so impressed
I became a distributor, just look at my web
site, www.ecoways.biz it’s crammed full of free
downloads and stuff as well as nearly 1000
products to help you find a better alternative to
the chemical laden stuff we use everyday – and
it’s delivered to your door so you don’t have to
carry it home from the supermarket!
What do you like about Cardiff?
That’s easy, even though it’s a busy, vibrant,
modern capital city there are still some great
green spaces and parks - Bute Park is right in
Town, Roath Park and Victoria Park are also
fabulous. I’m sure you’ve got your favourite! It’s
also easy to get out of the city and you can be
on a beach, or in the mountains in the blink of
an eye.
Where is your favourite place?
I love being out in the Countryside for a bit of
walking but if I can’t get out of town then it’s got
to be the Bay, I’ve done a bit of Kayaking and the
new White Water Centre is great.
Favourite dining place?
I love Chinese food and for lunch it’s got to
be China China. In the evening the Riverside
Cantonese is fabulous. For an alternative culture
I love the Madeira. There’s loads of places I’ve
still to try though!
Sum yourself up in three words
I’m a typical Taurus, ‘nuff said.
Any long time ambition?
To look after my family, stay healthy, not have too
many financial worries and be able to help folk
where I can, to do the same.
I’m good at…Attention to detail, I’m precise and I have a good
work ethic.
I’m very bad at….
Knowing when it’s good enough! I’m a
perfectionist and sometimes that’s not good.
Does it always have to be so damn perfect? No,
it needs to be good, very good, maybe even
excellent but sometimes perfect is a step to far!

Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Michelle Clarke and I’m the leader of Damsels in
Success in Cardiff. Damsels in Success is a personal
development group that meets once a month to
inspire, energise and support fabulous women
who want more out of life - more success without
the stress!
At Damsels in Success we believe that you have to
take care of yourself first before you can take care
of anyone else. We create time and space every
month for you to put yourself first, to connect as a
community of inspired women, to discover who you
truly are and learn to live your lives fully and freely.
When we are completely connected to ourselves
then everyone benefits - our children, our partners,
our friends, family and community.
Every month we take a different theme - ranging
from health to career, relationships to lifestyle and
teach you some tools and strategies to make life
more effortless, more successful and more fun!
Come and join us!
What do you like about Cardiff?
I was born in Cardiff so I guess I’m a little biased! I
moved around a bit during my 20s and then settled
back in this fabulous city almost 7 years ago. I really
do love it here. I love the fact that we’re a Capital
city and all the facilities the city has because of that,
but I also love the fact that the footprint of the city is
small and our population is still pretty small as cities
go, so it has an incredibly friendly feel to it, and it’s
still easy to get from one side of the city to the other.
I walk a lot and it’s really easy to get about. I love
walking by the river, down the bay, through the city
centre - I’ve seen the city grow and develop as I’ve
grown up and I’ve loved watching it change into the
place that will now always be my home.
Where is your favourite place?
I have lots of favourite places, mostly for going out
walking with my little boy and German shepherd!
The Wenallt is great for woodland adventures and
we all love the nature reserve at Cardiff Bay. It’s
always really quiet and we walk through it most
weekends so get to see all the changes in the wildlife
throughout the seasons.
What does Cardiff need?
I think Cardiff needs a much better connection
between the city centre and the Bay, to really link
the waterfront to the centre. I often hear visitors
comment that they didn’t realise Cardiff was so
close to the sea! We need to make more of our
location. The building plots within the Bay where
projects have ground to a halt need to be sorted
out, and I would also love to see more unique
shops within the Bay. The restaurants and bars are
great, but more one-off shops selling local produce,
Welsh gifts, original clothing, artwork - would all
help to enhance the experience of spending time
there - for visitors and residents.
Sum yourself up in three words
Happy, energetic, loving.
Any long time ambition?
I want Damsels in Success to continue to grow and
develop in Cardiff, the community we are creating
is incredible and I know we will achieve fantastic
things together. I also want work much more with
small groups of women who are dedicated to
following their true purpose and really making
in difference to their lives, and the lives of those
around them. I want to write a best-selling book
and share my passion by speaking to as many
people as possible. Outside of work, my ambition
is to raise a happy, healthy family and for my
husband and I to build our dream home together
I’m good at…Attention to detail, I’m precise and I have a good
work ethic.
I’m very bad at….
Knowing when it’s good enough! I’m a perfectionist
and sometimes that’s not good. Does it always
have to be so damn perfect? No, it needs to
be good, very good, maybe even excellent but
sometimes perfect is a step to far!

Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Rebecca Lees and I’m a freelance
copywriter. I work with clients across RCT, Cardiff
and south Wales, writing effective content to
promote their business. This can be in the
form of brochures, leaflets, press releases and
advertorials or content for the business’ website.
Many clients already know about SEO - search
engine optimisation - but there’s a little more to
it than filling the website with lots of keywords!
SEO copywriting is a balance between making
sure new customers find you in the first place
and having an engaging business message on
the page when they do. I also blog for clients.
Refreshing your website frequently with relevant
blog posts is a great way of boosting your search
rankings, but for many businesses it can be hard
to find the time. That’s where I come in!
I was a journalist at the South Wales Echo before
becoming freelance in 2007. Since then I have
written for BBC Wales, Bella, Metro, MSN, the
Daily Express, the Big Issue Cymru, Visit Wales
and Media Wales, as well as commercial clients
including RCT Council and local businesses. This
extensive media experience is my USP - not only
is my copy accurate and lively but I also have
the contacts and news sense to gain maximum
coverage. I usually find that clients with even the
most ordinary business have a brilliant human
interest story behind them!
Where is your favourite place?
My favourite place in south Wales is Ogmore. I
have ’74 VW camper van, which is great for days
out with my two small children. We pack up a
picnic and buckets and spades and head for
the coast regardless for the weather. It clears my
head and wears them out - perfect!
Favourite dining place?
The best place in south Wales is the Bunch of
Grapes in Pontypridd. Appearances can be
so deceptive - what looks from the outside like
a run-of-the-mill local is a blissful, spacious
retreat. The imaginative menu is frequently
updated and each dish is cooked to perfection.
On top of this, its fantastic value and the staff are
unfailingly cheerful and welcoming. I always take
friends there and it never fails to surpass their
expectations!
What does Cardiff need?
Cardiff needs more funding to get small
businesses off the ground. Some support
is available - but only if you are spending
thousands on set-up costs in the first place.
It would be great if there was more help
with website and marketing costs for people
working from home. Having said that, the Welsh
Assembly Government and Skill set do provide
heavily subsidised training for those working in
the creative industries, so it’s not all bad!
Sum yourself up in three words...
Busy, inquisitive and fulfilled.
Any long term ambition?
With the sweeping changes in the media in the
last decade, I see myself moving away from
journalism and fully into PR. I’d love to move to
premises and employ a small team, with staff
working very flexibly but effectively. I’ve even
thought of a company name - but I won’t say as
it’s quite catchy!
I’m good at... Starting work at 6.30am so I can do a day’s work
before the afternoon school run.
I am bad at... Switching off. I make endless lists and, as I work
at home, this often means jumping up in the
middle of Monopoly with the kids to write down
a brainwave.

Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Robin Campbell and my company
helps make property investment accessible to
anyone.
We have helped taxi drivers, paramedics and top
sports people achieve success in property over
the last 8 years.
We run free property investment schools in Cardiff
and the rest of the UK.
We decided to start running these schools purely
to educate people on how to build a portfolio of
properties learning from the experts.
People go to the garage for petrol and grocers
for food, but where do you go to learn about
property? At the schools people learn how to
build a property portfolio for capital growth over
the long term, how to choose where to buy, what
to look out for and how to avoid the pitfalls. Our
focus is to assist people to build a secure financial
future enabling people to spend more time with
family rather than having to work hard for their
money.
What do you like about Cardiff?
What I love about Cardiff is that there is so
much provision for people want to enjoy life
- the restaurants in the bay, the concerts at the
stadiums and the castle and the shopping and
leisure all within a stones throw from one another.
Where is your favourite place?
Cardiff Castle brings back fond memories
because it was where Mandy, my wife and I
went on one of our first concerts together and
saw Simply Red on a beautiful august summer
evening and the concert was befitting of the very
memorable location.
Favourite Dining Place?
The Cardiff Bayside Brasserie is a fabulous
restaurant - and I really appreciated the friendly
service and the food is top draw - I used to
work as a chef in the Channel Islands and really
appreciate good food cooked well and this
restaurant was memorable. Great atmosphere
and another great location.
What does Cardiff need?
Cardiff already does a great job marketing itsself
to the rest of the world and it has done very well
with such good facilities and investment over
recent years. So maybe if anything it needs to
maintain the momentum to secure its success.
Sum yourself up in three words...
Generous, Happy and Kind.
Any long term ambition?
I’ve always wanted to set up a youth outreach
centre for teenagers - and having had 4 children
all over 14 now, there is often nothing for kids
to do and I have so many ideas about how to
successfully provide an activity centre packed
with positive adult role models and create a safe
environment for them to come instead of all the
distractions that good kids get pulled by these
days. My business and my own portfolio will, God
willing, provide me the vehicle to fulfil my dream.
I’m good at... Making friends.
I am very bad at...
DIY - its something I am glad to bring in the
experts!

Who are you and what do you do?
My name is Sarah Harris and I am the director
of Sarah’s Gifts and Hampers Ltd that was set up
last year. We offer gifts and hampers for every
occasion throughout the year, such as Mother’s
and Father’s day, Birthdays, New born Baby and
the Corporate market and these can be sent all
over the UK, as well as overseas. A key strategy
of our business is to change the perception of
a hamper, not only from just being a Christmas
present, but also being presented in several
different ways. You can choose from a range
of traditional baskets to modern, contemporary,
recyclable hamper gift boxes that have proved
to be a real success. Our business prides itself
on the fact that wherever possible it uses local
suppliers and the business was created with
both the gift buyer as well as the recipient firmly in
mind. We also offer a personal bespoke service
so that if you want to mix and match items from
the website or have special requests that you
would like us to source for you, then please call
us on 01989 770344.
Why do people use Sarah’s Gifts and
Hampers? We offer unique and different gift hamper
ideas that see lovely keepsake gifts amongst
the luxurious food and drink items. Examples
of our keepsake gifts range from After Dinner
Quiz games and tabletop fun games to scented
candles and porcelain inscribed tokens. We
deal with customers personally, who order from
all over the world to corporate clients such as
the Celtic Manor Resort - we ensure that we
make everything about your gift buying a truly
memorable experience for you and the recipient
of your wonderfully, chosen gift.
What’s your ambition for the business?
My ambition is to grow the business year on
year and to not lose sight of my values around
personal touch, putting the gift buyer and
recipient at the forefront of all that I do, using
local suppliers and employing locally to continue
to return profit to the local economy.
Where do you live?
I live in Herefordshire, just seven miles from the
Welsh border town of Monmouth and being
married to a Welsh man and having worked in
Cardiff for several years, feel very loyal to Wales.
What do you enjoy doing?
I enjoy running across the lovely fields and
countryside with my lovely dog that my hubby
named “Dai Bando” - don’t ask!!! I also enjoy
meeting new people and with the business, I
do this now more than ever in terms of various
shows I attend and networking events. I will
always support local events wherever possible
and I didn’t realise how rewarding the business
was going to be at first, as you do get to do many
events that are also supporting charities, as well
as just your own business.
What’s your ideal evening?
My brother and his wife live in the United States
with my adorable niece and nephew, so there
is no better time than when my parents and my
husband and I get to all be together and relive
our childhood memories.

Who are you and what do you do?
I am a professional photographer with over 20
years experience in my field. My main focus
is Wedding Photography & making you feel
special on your big day. Therefore the wedding
photography packages can be tailored especially
to suit you. I like to take my time to get to know
you so you feel relaxed in front of the camera,
therefore making your images more natural. I am
able to provide Wedding Photography in South
Wales and beyond.
Whatever your choice of location – Church,
Registry Office or one of the many fabulous
licensed venues in South Wales, Lilies
Photography can capture those special memories
of your wonderful day.
I am also a very experienced baby & child
portrait photographer & offer a Mobile Portrait
Photography service in the home – or anywhere
on location in South Wales, at a time that’s best for
you. As a female baby and child photographer,
I am incredibly patient and will always put the
needs of your children first.
What do you like about Cardiff?
Cardiff is a vibrant & multi-cultural city and its
energy is palpable! With its iconic buildings,
colours, styles, and a never ending choice of
where to eat, shop and relax - it’s definitely THE
place to be.
Where is your favourite place?
As a photographer, Cardiff spoils me. I love Bute
Park - especially in the spring, and also Cardiff
Bay where I can quite literally lose a couple of
hours behind my camera.
What does Cardiff need?
Cardiff Bay is in need of cheaper parking and
improved links with other parts of the city.
Sum yourself up in three words...
Creative, ambitious and original.
Any long term ambition?
For Lilies Photography to be able to offer Wedding
& Portrait Photography courses and have its own
high profile Studio & Gallery.
I’m good at... Seeing the bigger picture.
I am very bad at...
Delegating & being able to switch off.
BIG Thank you from all at Follow Your

Who are you and what do you do?
I am a Health and Wellbeing company, that is
looking to advise and help people with ailments,
that they don’t want to have to go to a doctor
for, or don’t want to take certain prescribed
medication etc. From skin disorders, stomach
issues, urinary issues, brittle nails, dry scalp,
eczema, psoriasis, IBS, Diverticulitis, arthritis, and
many many more, I will have a lotion, drink or gel
that they can use.
Not many people believe in the alternative
therapy, but I have many testimonials to back
up what I claim. From the sports enthusiast, to
the stay at home mum, from the builder to the
ballerina, I will have something that will help
everyone. I am also working closely with the local gym,
Fitness Solutions, Western Industrial Estate,
promoting Fitness along with Health and
Wellbeing, which we find work exceptionally well
together.We also have a partnership with the Coach
House bed and breakfast, in Rudry, this is set in
amazing country grounds and we work closely
providing clients with e two night stay linked to
the detox program, which we find successful and
enjoyable.
Why should people use Aloe Wellbeing?
The company has been successful for over 33
years, and has an advisory board with over 80
years experience between them, a GP, a Vet and
a nutritionalist, who I go to for advice on many
occasion, and they have helped hundreds, if not
thousands of people.
Where are you based?
I am based in Caerphilly and the surrounding
areas. Caerphilly is my main base, as I love
working closely to the castle.
What is good about Caerphilly?
People who I advise on Health and Wellbeing,
meet me close to the castle and take in the
beautiful surroundings, which automatically puts
you in a place of relaxation. There are plenty of
coffee shops and restaurants about for people to
come and relax, before we discuss their ailments
of health issues.
Sum yourself up in three words...
Determined, persistent and motivated.
Any long term ambition?
My long term goal, is to make as many people
aware of Health and Wellbeing issues, in the
young through to the elderly, and to make their
lives more comfortable. I have also helped many
build their own Health and Wellbeing business,
under the umbrella of this amazing company,
but with my guidance and support.
I am very bad at...
The only thing I would say I am bad at is......
Taking a day off! But with so many people to
help, I don’t want a day off!

Jane Coles from Forte School of Music came along to the Launch of Catch the Dream at St Davids Centre, Cardiff. Jane said “Being invited to join in the Launch and actually meet the beneficiaries was great and we look forward to helping as much as we can.”
Who are you and what do you do?
I’m Lee Griffiths and I started MGL Printers in 1992
after completing my apprenticeship ‘on the tools’
and working for other print companies.
Over the years I have gained vast knowledge
and experience of the industry which enables
me to advise customers on the best use of print
to promote their own business, however large or
small.In addition to promotional material such as
leaflets, brochures, exhibition stands and
banners we produce company essentials such
as order forms, purchase order and invoice pads,
continuous stationery and letterheads, to name
a few.If you need something printed, we can do it.
At MGL we offer a complete and professional
design, print and finishing service. Having all
the latest production equipment available to us
ensures we can find the right product at the right
price. Myself and my team put 100% effort into
managing every aspect of our customers’ work,
regardless of size or value.
What do you like about Cardiff?
I love the vibrancy of the city with its fantastic
music and social scene. It’s also an architecturally
beautiful city to just wonder around.
Where is your favourite place?
The Millennium Stadium. Not just a focal point
for Cardiff, there’s nothing quite like being there
and soaking up the atmosphere during an
International.
Favourite Dining Place?
You’re spoilt for choice but if I had to choose, La
Brasserie on Mary Street.
What does Cardiff need?
To promote itself more as a business centre and
help bring more investment into Wales.
Sum yourself up in three words...
Passionate, professional, dedicated.
Any long term ambition?
To develop the business into one where we can
be mutually beneficial to our clients and build
on our reputation as a professional and reliable
company.
I’m good at... Understanding what the customer needs and
advising them impartially.
I am very bad at...
Saying no to customers.
