She has been running the Local Makers Market in Wanstead in East London since 2013 and she then expanded to Stoke Newington.

Both have a big following and are always oversubscribed with trader applications.

She said: "The concept is local makers selling high quality products, so things like jewellery, ceramics, prints and homewares.
