Happy Birthday Fuze

April 18, 2014by anne

Celebrating: Fuze are 2 yrs old!

I can’t believe that it’s 2 years since we started. ย It has rushed past in a blur of weddings, namings, funerals, parties, events, wedding shows, trade shows, launch parties … that’s just a few of the things we’ve been up to. ย There’s been lots of celebrations, so much happiness and joy and quite a few tears too. ย And not all of that from our customers.

Starting up a business and a not-for-profit organisation at the same time has been a massive challenge. ย All credit to the fabulous team we are building.

In our first year, I started things off and convinced Victoria to take a leap of faith, leave her job and join me in a new business. ย A few months later we convinced Morag to do the same. ย Its fantastic working with my family, I couldn’t have picked a better team. ย  I’ve always believed in getting the best people for the job, so why look any further than my own family when they are so talented !

Year 1 was all about ceremonies and year 2 we’ve had to recruit and train celebrants due to the growth in demand. ย We’ve had a rapid growth in the number of supporters and now have over 3,000 people who support the Fuze Foundation and we’ve raised thousands ยฃ for the Fuze Foundation, which was a great boost to everyone. ย In Y3 we are looking ahead with more innovations. ย We’re delighted to have recruited graduates Cindy and Jodie. ย They are having a massive impact and their talent, drive and determination is helping us move forward into 2014 with lots of new ideas.

We’re not going to stand still. ย We’re still very young, not even out of nappies yet, so just wait and see what we can do when we grow up !

Just want to give our core and extended team a big hug and say thanks for believing in us.
