Mynt Image Ltd is a small business that has grown tremendously over the last few years. Starting as a school project, a small team of students led by George and guided by Paul entered the young enterprise scheme. We produced badges, bottle openers, key rings etc. all of which could be customized and made to order. The team won an opportunity to represent the UK at an international trade fair for Y.E. teams across Europe to attend. The team picked up many awards in addition to this through the Young Enterprise scheme, plus receiving nominations and recognition with other organisations such as the national 'Skills Factor'.
After a few years of trading the company was streamlined with only a few remaining members, many of the team attending various colleges so opted to focus on their studies. With a smaller, more dynamic team we grew in size and started to generate large contract supplying products for companies across the south coast. Business was good but margins had potential to be better and it was at this point we were given the opportunity to run some of the events we'd been attending ourselves.
With a few practice runs at George's old primary school, Mynt's first Craft and Gift market was in the Salisbury Guildhall. A few stallholders felt we were running before we could walk but having learnt from other organisers mistakes we were immediately popular through a successful run of events. From here we expanded our venue range and started to dominate the South with our Craft and Gift Markets. A couple of years on and we now have an office based administration team to provide the best customer service and booking process with a superb team of Event Runners who generate the largest of footfalls and provide stallholders with as much help as possible leading to success all round.
