In this episode I got to speak to Sarah Watmore, a year after we first spoke. Last year we were just starting to hear about a corona virus. It had halted a lot of stock coming from China at the time. We spoke before we went into our first lockdown.  

When the first lockdown hit. Everything stopped. A year on and so much has changed. Sarah has pivoted to direct to consumer selling, as well as running Miss Milly wholesale, and getting ready to reopen as we come out of lockdown 3. 

She has also started a new online shop - Riding With Mates. She has taken her love of cycling and joined with a friend to sell after riding apparel and loungewear too. It is really inspiring to hear about her journey,  strategy, and tenacity in making changes and always moving forward
