A tasty partnership
By SisterSnogger
Kathryn and Nicola are hands-on Directors of Lime Food
Design. A zesty catering company with a little citrus twist that create
fabulous-tasting-stylish-looking food for all occasions. There’s a
three year gap between them. They’ve been Sisters in Business for 5
years.
Kathryn
What was it
like growing up together?
Great. Very Play School. And we started many a café!
What do you have in common?
A work-hard ethic. A sense of humour.
What are your biggest differences?
I love presenting and exhibiting, sales & marketing. Nicola likes the operations side.
How do you divide your roles? I deal with the paperwork. Finances. Marketing. Nicola directs all the events on a day to day basis.
How would you describe your working relationship? Calm. Open. Honest. 100% trust. Couldn’t. Wouldn’t want to do it without her!
What do you most admire about your Sister? Her ability to just get on with it.
What do you think are your main strengths as Sisters in Business? We’re The A-Team with passion for our business.
Where do you see the business in three years? To be established in well known, as well as funky venues with a celebrity wedding or two under our belt. With two café outlets we won’t be stopping there.
Nicola
What was
it like growing up together? Kathryn being the oldest
would always look out for me. I would be chasing her on my bike
trying to keep up. She also had the money making ideas. Setting up
a library. Hiring out books whilst selling sweets to our friends.
Raising money for Blue Peter Appeals. I would always be the
organiser. Hmm! Not much changes.
What do you have in common? The will to succeed. A very strong work ethic.
What are your biggest differences? Kathryn is very much an ideas person. She can also be quite impulsive! I like to think about all the options. Weigh up the pros and cons. Then make a decision.
How do you divide your roles? I head up the events and cost out new ideas. Kathryn looks at marketing and PR and manages the rubbish bits. Like the finances!
How would you describe your working relationship? Strong with shared goals. Trust. Essential when dealing with everything running a company throws at you.
What do you most admire about your Sisters? She’s always striving to find ways to make Lime bigger and better.
What do you think are your main strengths as Sisters in Business? We pick each other up on bad hair days.
Where do you see the business in three years? Have gained a reputation as being the caterers in London and the South with a fully booked diary for that year. And the next. And the one after that.
