A neat entrepreneurial success story that will appeal to the female business students who are fans of specialist retailer Cath Kidston. An initial investment of £15,000 has turned into a stake worth around £25 million. Not a bad ROI. Lots of good stuff in this interview article for students wanting an example of niche business which has grown strongly despite the recession - and still lots of growth opportunities to exploit.
