I would have say 1950s designs and styles are my favourite.

Ice cream cornets are my most popular Daisy treat and no matter what type of event or what area I am in the banoffee ice cream always comes out at the no1 choice, male and female, children and adults.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
From books and magazines and music but mainly from my customers who have the best ideas and suggestions. I love that as a small company I can adapt and personalise the service and products I offer to suit different people.
What is in store for you in 2012
This year has been all about getting Daisy up and running, renovating the bodywork and working on the mechanics so she is able to take bookings further afield. I am currently renovating her interior, installing a generator, new electrics, freezer, chiller, water system, lighting and sound system. I’m also taking licensing exam so I can apply for an alcohol licence for her and she can be a Champagne and cocktail bar too. Next year will be all about weddings, parties, events and festivals, she’s booking so incredibly fast it’s looking like 2012 will be a very exciting year.
Who would be your dream client, and what sort of design would you envisage for them?
I love that all my clients are different they all bring their own stamp to their day and their Daisy booking, they are all dream clients.
What would be your top tips for brides when searching for a supplier in your industry?
I love that all my clients are different they all bring their own stamp to their day and their Daisy booking, they are all dream clients.
What would be your top tips for brides when searching for a supplier in your industry?
Look around at lots of different suppliers to start with and then start narrowing it down, ask for quotes and samples if possible, ask as many questions as possible and go with your gut instinct, if a supplier is off hand or difficult to contact strike them off and move on. You need to feel you can trust your suppliers and be sure they will deliver, you don’t need the stress of chasing them up or the disappointment if they do a sloppy job. Always remember you are the client.
Where are you based and where can you supply?
I am based in Berkshire, Daisy can get to events up to 100 miles away under her own steam, further afield she has to hop on a trailer.
