WHY NICOLA?
Nicola grew up as an only child in a council house in Birmingham. She left school at 16, as she didn't really enjoy it, and all she wanted to do was work.
At 17, she luckily landed a job in a bank, (even with an E in Maths!) and she could see how she could progress and make money. By 20, Nicola was a young Mom, progressing into new roles within the bank, and within a few years, she was a qualified financial adviser, she was the cycle breaker!
After spending over 20 years in financial services, in 2020, Nicola decided to walk away from her career. This was after two years of challenges, which led to her losing everything she had worked so hard to build. It was the lowest point in her life, but she was not willing to be a victim, there was no one who could bully her any longer, and she decided to create her own new business, Chouxlicious, which was an afternoon tea delivery company.
Chouxlicious grew and grew, and during lockdown, Nicola turned over 6 figures within 12 months. Although she loved her business, she missed working with people. The days working alone in the kitchen made her start to resent the business, and although it was a really tough decision to make, she sold the business to start all over again. Nicola worked on creating a business which she knew she would love for life!
In December 2021, she opened Peakes Private Members Club and within weeks there were 90 new members. Nicola found her purpose, and what she loved doing. Nicola's passion is to bring other self-made, successful female business owners together to create real connections and unlock the value in collaborations and joint ventures, as well as help them to grow their own businesses into ones they will continue to love. After setting up two 6-figure businesses over 2 years, you can be sure that you are in safe hands.
