Business Support Case Study: A Brush With Love
- Business name: A Brush With Love
- Support programme: Ambition to Action East Sussex
- Participant name: Fay Barker, January 2026
A Brush With Love is a specialist supplier providing sector-specific printed materials for veterinary practices. The business focuses on practical, sustainable products designed to support clear and sensitive client communication within clinical settings.
What support they received
Fay, one of the founders, shared insights into her business challenges and support needs. Working with Business Adviser Kerry Byott from Ambition to Action East Sussex and using their GROWTHmapper diagnostic tool, the company uncovered valuable, in-depth insights that will shape its future growth strategy.
It’s fantastic to support a business that is strengthening its strategic foundations. Our focus is on helping A Brush With Love access the right resources and funding to scale successfully and achieve long-term growth.
How this has helped the business
As a result of the diagnostics, Ambition to Action provided strategic support and other interventions to help accelerate expansion. Kerry has worked closely with Fay to ensure the business has the resources and strategies needed for sustainable growth.
Working with Kerry has been motivating and really insightful. The regular check-ins have kept business development firmly on the agenda, and the structured support has helped me stay focused on strategy in a way that one-off workshops simply can’t. The ongoing support has helped me prioritise strategic development in a way that creates real momentum.
