“From a background of working many years with young children with addition needs and in Children’s and Family services, my ultimate passion is to help support people in accessing the best opportunities and experiences to enable the most positive outcomes available to help lead better lives that many deserve. Starting Natty’s with my husband initially intended to be a part-time activity to keep busy and active within the community of Portsmouth and Southsea by sharing the food and culture of our Jamaican/Carribean heritage we have enjoyed throughout our lifetime.
Never having undergone any formal business training or experience, this venture has so far been a project filled with passion and purpose which has enabled me to incorporate and harness a multitude of skills and abilities that have helped both the business and myself evolve into who and what we are today.”
