GLOUCESTERSHIRE MUM MAKES BUSINESS A FAMILY AFFAIR AT HOME

GLOUCESTERSHIRE MUM MAKES BUSINESS A FAMILY

AFFAIR AT HOME

 

Sharon Huczek has turned her passion for dress making into a family business and set up her workshop in her garage where she creates custom designs as part of her new business venture Aim Custom Clothing.

Sharon, 38, who lives in Cheltenham, runs Aim Custom Clothing in her converted garage and all of the family get involved in the process. Husband Toby, and their four children (Harry, 15; James 14; Hannah, 12; and little Mia who is 7) are part of the Aim Custom Clothing team, working on printing and designs. 

Sharon says:I started Aim because I am originally a dress maker, and when Mia was born she was so tiny I couldn't get any clothes that would fit her. I was at a trade show for sewing machines when I saw a vinyl printer and was hooked! That was two years ago, and with funding from BizBritain I've set up Aim in a great workspace at home and use all my own machinery.' 

 

She adds, ‘If you hadn't spotted it, Aim is Mia backwards! The business was really set up with her in mind. My girls help me with the weeding of the vinyl (prep) and they "earn" their pocket money that way. The boys come up with the funny slogans and make sure I'm not doing anything that isn't cool! So we really a family business through and through!

Sharon creates apparel for businesses, sports clubs and hen and bride dos, and events. She says: ‘Custom printed clothes are very on trend and our products are very high quality. It's always a delight to the smile on customers' faces or to get their great feedback when they receive their luxury finished products. We've printed designs for the Gloucestershire Netball Fun League, Combined Fitness, Sal's Green Beauty Shop, Tesco, and a load of hen dos.

‘We really are a small family business, and it's great to get support from the local Gloucestershire community.'
