Nick founded the company following a successful career in interior design with the aim of bringing sustainable, crafted furniture to the area he lived in.
Black Pear Bespoke specialises in handmade furniture inspired by sustainable materials, with each bespoke piece created to match customers’ interior designs.
Funded by First Enterprise, who provide business loans ranging from £500 to £150,000 for start-ups and SMEs, Nick will use these funds to assist with the creation of prototypes, designing a new website, and advertising the business to customers.
He commented: "The Start Up Loan has really helped me kick start the promotion of my work to a wider audience.
"The team at First Enterprise has been great to work with throughout the application process, being thorough in their approach and offering some very useful advice along the way."
Nick graduated from Loughborough with a degree in Industrial Design and Technology in 1999.
We would like to wish Nick every success in expanding the business.
