Hello,
My name is Matt Jonns and i run a company called Umbrella Music. www.umbrellamusic.co.uk
I am 20 years old which some would say is young to be doing what i am doing and in some respects it is. Everyday i deal with issues most other 20 year olds are not dealing with; Tax, VAT, wages, bills etc. These are the bad bits about running your own business but there are many exciting challenges that i meet every day.
One of the most rewarding things i have ever experienced is working my ass of and it working and me getting a new customer who wants to spend a good ammount of money with me. Alot of our buisness come form the Education sector and this requires an immense ammount of work, which sometimes results in not atually getting the contract. That can be hard to take.
This current climate may not be the best time to be going into business. With the credit crunch, oil prices it appears people have less money than ever to be purchasing musical instruments but sometimes you have to be optimistic. The glass is always half full for me ![]()
I have a good unit of staff; from my sales team to my teachers and technicians who are great to work with. Without good staff you can't get anywhere.
So if your not too busy check out my site and give me some feedback it's early days so any comments will eb evry welcome!
