We are a group of individuals who met at the Pop Up Business School hosted in Romford (hence the name Romford PUBS) ran by the amazing Alan Donegan and his brilliant team.  The Romford school was made possible with the support of Havering Council and Wates Construction for which we are all very grateful.  We left the two week PUBS course inspired to get our own business ideas off the ground and we have continued to support each other in person at monthly meetings and online via our facebook group.

Meetings: first Monday of the month in Cafe Bunno, Romford at 10am.  Our next meeting is: 3rd February.

The purpose of this website is to provide a directory for our own use and as a contact point for others who might want to use our services.

Creative solutions for schools and the workplace
I am an Advanced EFT Practitioner and have been using EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) since 2006 as not only does it work, and work really well, EFT also gets to the root cause of issues and brings relief to a huge variety of conditions.

It is effective as a quick & easy "in the moment" stress-relief tool as well as helping over time with more serious issues such as anxiety, depression, single or complex trauma and PTSD.

Asian Party and Frozen Meals
Quality Asian food supplied for your convenience
After moving to the UK more than 10 years ago, the yearning for Asian food has made it a need for me to recreate food that is not readily available here. In Malaysia, food is in abundance almost anywhere and at any time of the day and one is rather spoilt for choice! The love of cooking had me introducing all sorts of dishes to my dear friends here. As such, the idea of this business is so that you and many more can truly taste the authentic flavours of Asia and much more. 
Catering, Parties, Frozen Dishes and Sauces all available.
