Newport woman Georgia Watkins has set up an on-line business, Little Monkeys Boutique, with her mother.

Georgia said: "This is an on-line business which stocks quality clothing, accessories and shoes at affordable prices which you will not find on the high street, bringing exclusivity to Newport. We stock quality and exquisite baby and toddler clothing and accessories.

"I decided to set up my new venture as I want to offer something very different. Little Monkeys Boutique stocks Buffalo Bear, Annaliv, Funky Feet Fashions, Natures Purest, The Little Tailor and more."

Georgia currently works full-time in procurement for the government but wanted to take the skills she uses in her job to start her own business.

She said: "I decided to start an online baby/toddler boutique because there is nowhere locally that offers the things that I envisioned selling in the boutique. Our biggest aim is to provide customers with unique and quality goods, while ensuring our service is truly exceptional.

"The website launched in September and we are hosting a launch event at One Touch Health and Beauty, on Caerleon Road, Newport, on November 28 when customers can see the ranges and enjoy Champagne and canapes from noon to 5pm."

Georgia said: "I have big hopes for this business and hope to expand and take on extra staff in the future."
