Heavenly Boxes offers thoughtfully curated gift boxes designed for special occasions, or to show care and appreciation. Tailored for birthdays, anniversaries, or general acts of kindness they are aimed at customers seeking convenient yet meaningful gifts. With a varied product range offering beautiful packaging and personalised deliveries, they have an aim of fostering joy through gifting.
Their journey so far
Originally operating from their family home, Heavenly Boxes have grown over the past two years, to achieve some key milestones. They have secured dedicated business premises, enhanced their online presence and are now able to support one permanent, and two temporary team members. Expanding the team has meant they are able to expand their offerings, create more gift options and improve their service speed and efficiency.
Alongside the business benefits, this growth has allowed them to create job roles within their local community and also reclaim some personal time to achieve a more balanced work and family life.
The support from Business Kirklees
Having heard about the support Business Kirklees offer via a friend, and with no prior experience in running a business, the Heavenly Boxes team reached out in order to receive guidance to ensure they had the right support to turn their vision into a successful reality.
Mohammed Sheikh, Director of Heavenly Boxes, describes Kirklees Business support as being an “invaluable partner from day one”.
Mohammed was introduced to Start Up Business Manager, Tracy Sheldon, who connected him to the Business Kirklees Workspaces Team at Batley Business Park. He was then able to identity suitable, affordable office space which allowed them to move out of our home into a business environment. They have also received support with planning, networking, training, a grant to enhance our website and mentorship through the Ad:Venture programme.
Mohammed Sheikh says:
“The support I’ve received has been crucial as a small startup. This kind of assistance is essential for helping entrepreneurs turn their ideas into reality, ultimately creating job opportunities and benefiting the local community in the future. Especially post-COVID, with more people looking to start their own ventures, it’s vital that this support continues and expands. Without it, many new businesses, like mine, would struggle to succeed. The impact of such programs can’t be overstated, and they play a critical role in fostering local economic growth.”
Looking to the future
Heavenly Boxes aim to continue expanding their range of gift options, whilst enhancing their customer experience by offering more personalisation and faster services. They aim to invest in more staff and ensure even more efficient operations. Ultimately, their priority is to grow the business to a point where the Directors can step back slightly, trusting a strong team to keep things running smoothly, while continuing to spread joy through beautifully crafted gift boxes.
