Two with a sweet tooth succeed in Llangefni

A big thank you goes to the Enterprise Hub for their support in setting up Kico's dessert bar in the town of Llangefni, said the owners.  Kico's was set up by Emma and Vicky Roberts, in August last year with support from the Enterprise Hub to develop the company through the creation of a business plan and cash flow.


Feeling that something was missing in the town, they opened the dessert bar in Llangefni to sell all sorts of treats, from ice cream to birthday cakes.  "We decided to open the dessert bar in Llangefni because we found a gap in the market for an enterprise like this," said Emma Roberts.  "And also, it's a central location to the whole of Anglesey and easy for everyone to reach."


After deciding on a suitable location, Emma and Vicky started working with the Enterprise Hub.  And three months after opening their doors, Kico's went on to win the New Business of the Year award at the Menter Môn awards, and their thanks go to the Enterprise Hub and their business adviser, Aled.


"We received a lot of support as we set up the business, especially from Menter Môn," says Emma.  "Aled was the business adviser and he was always on the other side of the phone if we needed him.  He helped with things like the business plan, cash flow, applying for a grant for start-up funding for the business.  He's been a big help throughout the whole process.  We got help with online workshops through Menter Môn which were a big help with accounting, and also with social media," adds Vicky.  "We've learned a lot that we didn't know before."
