UK-based fashion entrepreneur, Anne Namgbeh, better known as Anne ATS, said that the lockdown period was a tough one for her business.
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus in 2020 affected businesses across the world and things became worse with the lockdown declared by governments to curtail the spread of the deadly disease. One of such industries affected is the fashion industry, and United Kingdom-based Nigerian entrepreneur and boutique owner, Anne Namgbeh, better known as Anne ATS, said that the lockdown period was a tough one for her business.
“Business is slowly getting back to normal as we’ve been on lockdown due to the pandemic. As you know, the United Kingdom was affected a lot by COVID, but sales are starting to come back in and business is doing well,” said the Edo State-born entrepreneur, who studied Business Administration at the De Montfort University, Leicester, UK.
“This wasn’t because I was doing something wrong; it was a new business and needed publicity. At the time I had no website, so I started selling on Facebook. I also would drive around universities and share my business cards. While advising aspiring, fledgling and young entrepreneurs about taking ownership of their business and how to start and grow a business into a money-making and profitable venture, Anne ATS said: “My advice for aspiring or young entrepreneurs is to challenge yourself, your biggest motivation should be to keep challenging yourself.
