The record plant journey began about 18 months ago, we opened our first shop just opposite here
00:10
and it was a collective of four of us that kind of came together deciding we wanted to do something
00:17
and one of the other owners also pat on the old woollen next door to us and was quite keen to
00:25
you know open a record shop and I think kind of feeling was that it would work around here
00:30
and my background was in new record shops and I've had shops before so it was kind of
00:36
everything kind of came together quite quickly and we opened in October 2023, rapidly outgrew
00:42
the unit there and we're very fortunate to get a bigger premises which we moved in at the end
00:48
of September this year so yeah it's been an interesting journey. What do you love about
00:53
running your own business and what keeps you going every day? What keeps me going every day,
00:58
I mean even though it's something I've done for a long time you still never know what's
01:03
going to happen, we do a lot of buying second-hand records from the public so anything could come
01:09
through the doors which can be quite exciting, also I like the you know the fact that you're
01:13
selling things that people enjoy and I like seeing the public get something they've been
01:18
after for a long time, running your own business it's the the advantages of not really only
01:25
answering to yourself but I kind of always have had that mentality that you know I'm it's not
01:31
just me working for myself I'm you know I've you know I do feel like you know you're employed by
01:36
the business so it isn't like where you can come in late you know it's quite time consuming and
01:42
you're doing a lot of things at home or working on weekends and you know you know it can you know
01:48
it does not necessarily take over your life but it's almost like a vocation really having your
01:53
own business. And what's the biggest challenges? Just I guess suppliers and you know and making
02:02
sure that stock's in, quite often you can have issues with you can have issues with
02:08
things turning up damaged which is totally out of your control and when you've been waiting all
02:14
week for them to come that can that can be frustrating but I guess you know you know
02:18
they're only kind of minor details and mostly our customers kind of understand when those things
02:23
come up and generally products availability especially at this time of year you know
02:29
certain big titles can go out of stock and you hate thinking that you're gonna have to let people
02:33
down for Christmas presents or what have you so yeah just just those kind of things same as same
02:38
as anybody I suppose.
