From helping hand to big chief for Hampshire business owner

After cutting her teeth helping out at Chair Covers of Hampshire as a teenager, Emma Dzenis ended up taking over the company. The seeds were sown in the early days when the business was owned by a friend of her mum's and her love for the wedding industry has grown ever since. She's seen the business transform from a small unit to larger premises with more items for hire, diversifying from just chair covers and sashes to a whole range of decorative items and props for the big day. After finishing college she took on other full-time work but her heart was still in weddings. She dreamed of running the company from the age of 18 when it was up for sale but she wasn't in a position to act on it. "I've had the idea in my head ever since and at 30 years old it finally became a reality!"

With Emma at the helm, the company now offers backdrops, chair hire, centrepieces, aisle carpets and much more. She also plans to add new products and will be keeping her eye firmly fixed on the latest industry trends.
