Hi Ladies, well winter is well and truly on us isn’t it, brrrr… as much as I love summer, something is comforting about getting back into boots and winter gear, and I’ll admit my new faux fur addiction is coming along rather nicely! Apologies for the lack of contact, I just realised over the weekend that I never got a newsletter out to you last month, what a naughty CEO I turnout out to be! So what have I been up to since you heard from me late April? Well, Venus, for the very first time has a Business Development Manager, Anna Thomson.

February 14th saw me celebrating one year since I stepped up and took over the reins of Venus – isn’t it amazing how time flies.
