Sealy MacWheely

Kirkintilloch

Hi I'm Katie, the face behind Sealy MacWheely. I am a passionate spinner, knitter and lover of all things bright and colourful! Sealy MacWheely began with very humble beginnings and came into being initially whilst I was a student to raise money for the brilliant charity, Childreach International, with whom I trekked through the Andes of Peru in the summer of 2013. Once the trek to the summit of Machu Picchu was complete I simply couldn't let go of my wee business and after graduating and moving down to the outskirts of the wonderful city of Glasgow I refreshed and rebranded and began the daunting task of vending at local craft markets. It didn't take long for my business to outgrow itself and soon I was driving across the country to larger yarn and fibre festivals and events and with a little hesitation and a lot of excitement I eventually quit my regular job and took up Sealy MacWheely full time. This of course led me to my wee Yarn & Fibre Shop which would never have existed had it not been for the incredible support of our amazing yarn community. With the help of a successful Kickstarter campaign in the autumn of 2018 I was able to move into my beautiful wee shop in Kirkintilloch where I could focus all my creative energy into sharing my love of fluff and colour! I am also passionate about ecology and the environmental impact of my business has been factored into every decision I make. Both the shop and my home where I do my dyeing are powered by 100% renewable energy and I use absolutely no single use plastics in my branded products. I am proud to announce that Sealy MacWheely has recently teamed up with Ecologi, meaning that for every purchase made both in the shop and online a tree will be planted in an effort to combat the climate emergency that our planet currently faces. Although the Covid 19 pandemic has been a bumpy ride the shop has recently moved to a new premises with an in-situ dye studio and I have absolutely no intention of giving up! In fact I have so many exciting adventures lined up for the next year that I can't wait to share with you so keep your eyes peeled!

Prikli Pear

Lincoln

The idea of Prikli Pear was launched in 2020 during the lockdown by Creative Director and Founder, Jessica Purdie. This is when the social media and web domains were secured and the idea began taking shape. Jess worked full-time in the London PR industry whilst side-hustling on her brand idea. It wasn’t until September 2021 that Jess decided to move away from London and go full-time with her brand. This was a huge plunge into the unknown but Jess was sure that it was going to work out. Jess started with one-off knitwear pieces and accessories, gradually building products to see what worked and what didn’t. It was the only way to start without investment backing. During the winter months of 2021, Jess has received a few alteration requests from locals in the surrounding area of Lincoln and began to take on more and more. It got to the point where this overtook the clothing designs and this is where Prikli Pear’s Alterations service was born. Now a very popular service in the Lincolnshire community where individuals (men, women and children) can get their clothing repaired or altered, including occasional wear such as wedding dresses and suits! Due to popular demand, Jess began to host workshops around Lincolnshire, educating people how to fix their own clothing and create their own knitwear and crochet pieces. All workshops can be found on our events page. The name ‘Prikli Pear’ came from a nickname given to Jess during her early education… A ‘Prikli Pear’ is someone who may come across being a little unaffectionate as Jess is very sensitive to people’s vibes that they give off. No one wants to hug a negative nancey and especially Jess who keeps her aura in positive form. Whether you are affectionate or not, Prikli Pear pride itself on creating handmade clothing that tells a story and holds the personality behind the manufacturing. We aim to tell the back story of the creators by displaying WHO made the clothes and how long it took to make them. We shy away from the world of fakery and ensure we manifest true communications for our customers and our team. Prikli Pear’s style holds ‘tongue n’ cheek’ bold, graphic and colourful statement prints, knits & embroidered pieces, classic to the style of Jessica Purdie’s art! Commissions are available, visit our ‘contact’ page to find out more.

Stoke on Trent

Our goal is to be a world-class centre of clinical and academic achievement, where staff work together to ensure patients receive the highest standards of care and the best people want to come to learn, work and research. We have created a vision document that sets out our vision for the future and our plans to become a successful, competitive partner in the healthcare economy. 2025Vision has been set in the context of national and international trends in demography, technology and globalisation as well as being firmly rooted in the plans of the local health community in North and South Staffordshire. It is closely aligned with the NHS health plans, which will move care closer to people's homes, increase patient choice and develop regional models for specialist services. Over the last year we have worked with our key stakeholders to ensure our vision for the future is fully supported by NHS partner organisations. To achieve 2025Vision we will be challenged to respond with care and insight to the emerging market for healthcare provision in the UK. At the same time, staying true to our values during a period of rapid reform will be critical to our success. Achieving organisational and cultural change will also be necessary if we are to be a serious contributor to healthcare innovation globally. In order to invest in tomorrow we must increase our income and minimise our costs today and we will need leadership inside and outside the Trust that understands this imperative. We will also be reliant on the help of others and must be open to working in partnership with outside organisations as well as engaged in a constructive relationship with staff, patients and the public.
