MrsDDoes

So, who is Mrs D aka Vicki Day.

You have clicked on this website because you’re curious how you're going to make your vision a business reality.

I’m bringing a lot of experience with my background in retailing from the shopfloor to management. Retailing gives you a huge breadth of experience as you come across every type of scenario imaginable. You have to deal with it quickly; there is no time for second guessing. You also learn how to use all the resources at hand including staff with changing and challenging demands.

For the last sixteen years I have been helping companies connect and thrive . These are primarily small companies , start-ups , entrepreneurs ; management teams.

I really understand the difficulties facing these smaller , start up businesses learning how to communicate their great ideas effectively to the outside world. For a lot of people it is “where and how to start” with their business idea.

Seeing this issue repeatedly I devised “The Bridge '' which is an easy strategic plan to get your business idea from paper or vision board into reality. I have a great track record of originating, managing and delivering clearly defined strategies to help people achieve their objectives and goals. 

Mrs D will help you find the clarity to get your idea/ business going plus the confidence to do the damn thing. All the barriers will be removed. Think of Mrs D as your personal cheerleader & strategist on your path to achieving your goals.

Mrs D is on a mission to empower Northern women in business. She is committed to uplifting women from all walks of life , equipping them with knowledge , skills and most of all the confidence you need to run or start your own business.

The North West is the biggest contributor to the entrepreneur economy outside of the South of England (£89 billion) . The region plays an outsized role with just 9% share of the UK’s entrepreneurs; it generates £89 billion in revenue. 

Who are You 

Over the last decade life has become uncertain in so many ways which has led to a new generation of female entrepreneurs. In 2019 the Treasury launched the Rose Review led by Dame Alison Rose, former chief executive of the NatWest Group. The latest progress report noted that women have established 151,603 companies which is up by 6,332 on the previous year.

6000 more companies were set up by women in 2022 than the year before with young entrepreneurs the most active. Entrepreneurs aged under 25 years were the largest group setting up 17,489 businesses last year , compared with only 785 in 2018.

The Rose review found that breaking down barriers faced by women could boost the economy by £250 billion. 

These female entrepreneurs vary from those who run a #sidehustle out of necessity. “Necessity entrepreneurs '' in the UK has shown that around 50% of under 35’s now have a #SideHustle . 

#SideHustles now contribute over £70 billion to the UK economy annually.

To someone who has seen an opportunity and wants to make it happen. The other set of budding entrepreneurs are women who have a vision board packed with ideas, but don’t know where to start or they don’t have the money.

Would-be entrepreneurs are being put off from setting up their own businesses because they overestimate start up costs by about 600% according to a survey.

On average Britions believe it takes £34,000 to start a business and about 15% believe it costs up to £50,000 . When the typical cost is actually £5,000.
