Trials of enlisting help and outsourcing!
I have reached a point in my business where I can no longer fit in everything that I used to, so I have enlisted the help of a local fabrication firm to create the metal frames that are the frame work to my sculptures.
Feeling a little unsure about the whole process I arrived at the office to a warm welcome, the owner was very easy to talk to and listened to what I wanted and offered suggestions along the way.
Handing a part of your business over to someone else no matter how small, is sometimes a test of faith in someones capabilities and you hope that they will take the care and attention that you give to your own business.
But, I left feeling confident that they would recreate my sketches in metal to my satisfaction and save me some much needed time so that I can concentrate on other areas. Hopefully it will be the start of a good working relationship with another small business.
