Claire is the founder of Create Cheltenham in 2019, Jovita joined in Nov 2021 and became a partner in June 2022. 
 
We both have our own small businesses and you will see us with our stalls at the markets, therefore we are able to view from an organiser and stallholder point of view.
 
We work with lots of local small businesses to bring you the best of crafters and makers in Gloucestershire. We carefully choose each venue and the stallholders we represent, ensuring that our stallholders are high quality and quirky. So whether you’re an aspiring crafter or you love shopping and supporting small, we look forward to meeting you and discovering all the possibilities of working together.

Hi I'm Jovita, a mum of two wonderful girls currently aged 8 &  10. I run my small business Lilly Rose Fudge and also
work part time for a non for profit organisation as an administrator.  Previouslty I have worked in insurance for just over 10 Years, 8 of those being within an administrative back office support role.
After a period of servere anxiety and depression in 2020 and discussions with a friend Lilly Rose Fudge was launch and this allowed me to channel my anxieties and depression in a positive way whilst having a goal to work towards. 
The timing couldn't have been more perfect to join the team back in November 2021, with me being made redundant from my office job.  I was excited to be apart of this team whilst meeting lots of new people and supporting the small business community by working for Create Cheltenham.  In May 2022 I was delighted to have been given the opportunity to become one of the directors and look forward to seeing how this business and community can grow to support small businesses.
