How I did it...

Club member Gareth Harca tells us about his business' Instahedge and Rentahedge

Twenty-one year old Gareth Harca from Brigstock, Kettering started his business in 2005. He was inspired to start his business when he identified gaps in two separate market places which he believed could be filled by one product line used in two different ways.

Instahedge www.instahedge.co.uk, supplies instant mature hedging for private and public developments, as well as for domestic gardens to enhance, secure and give a more aesthetically appealing look as well as being an environmentally friendly solution.

Rentahedge www.rentahedge.co.uk, supplies totally portable temporary hedging in planters to the events industry. In the past exhibitors and event organizers have only been able to choose between, sometimes unsightly, fencing or roping but now everything from sports events and trade shows to corporate and private events can be enhanced by this lush greenery, making events far more memorable and unique.

"It is a big step, but once you have done it keep focused and work for it 24/7 to make it a success"

"Take the plunge, take the chance, but make sure you have made sure that it is the right thing for you and you are sure it is a viable business that won't just fail before it opens"
