InCube: A Fantastic Opportunity
for Local Designers
The latest line up of
InCube entrepreneurs
are seeing their
businesses bloom
through the innovative
business support
and employability
programme, run
by Renfrewshire
Council.
InCube developed
by Invest in
Renfrewshire, allows
local creative startups
to benefit from
support to improve
their growth.
InCube’s Class of 2018 are already seeing their businesses benefit from the
package of support offered by the programme, including attending a range
of workshops and having the chance to sell their products in the dedicated
InCube shop.
Designer Geraldine Donnelly, of textiles and homewares brand Obsidian Ore,
said her time at InCube has been amazing and a helpful experience for both
herself and her business.
Geraldine added: “Without the support of InCube, I wouldn’t have won the
chance to design the prizes for the 2018 Scottish Album of the Year Awards –
my first big commission as a professional designer.”
Designer Eva Arnaudova who designs childrens’ clothing under the name
Atelier Eva Art, said that InCube helped her to develop new ideas and gave her
confidence in her own abilities.
She said “InCube covers all the steps for creative businesses and was a great
help to me in every possible way.”
The programme is now accepting applications for the 2019 intake and is open
to those wishing to start or grow a business in the creative retail, textiles,
jewellery, design, fashion, crafts and makers sector.
Designer Sohelia Keyani said that InCube offer warmth and guidance to help
fledgling businesses become strong and self-sufficient.
She added: “If you’re a creative needing support and business acumen, then
InCube is the place to be!”
Renfrewshire Council Leader Iain Nicolson said: “InCube continues to nurture
local creatives every year and this is helping to establish Renfrewshire as a
place where creativity thrives.
“The support in 2018 has been phenomenal and I would encourage everyone to
continue to visit the InCube shop in 2019 and continue to support local designers
who are showcasing the skill and talent we have here in Renfrewshire.”
Applications for the 2019 InCube intake close on Monday 11th February. For

alike had a very enjoyable evening.
Where beauty meets functionality
When choosing a new floor for your home, there are a few things to take into consideration. For a lot
of our clients, having a floor that isn’t going to be ruined by mucky feet, paw prints or spills is a top
priority. As well as looking great and tying in with the rest of your fittings and furnishings.
Karndean and Amtico flooring are perfect for any room or situation in the home. They are both
waterproof, slip resistant and warm underfoot, as well as being a beautiful and luxurious floor to
be proud of.
Both are easy to clean and without
the porous qualities of wood and
some stone. They bring the ageless
beauty of natural flooring to your home without the hassle. As opposed to some natural products
they are also warmer under foot and comfortable to walk on.
Be it a rustic wood effect in the living room or a sleek and modern stone effect in the kitchen,
Orchard Flooring can provide expert advice to find the perfect floor for a room.
With a home sampling service why not give us a call and be on your way to a stunning floor from
