Single mother of two, Heather Gifford, is the brains behind a new 'fruitful' business opportunity which is being offered nationally to home-workers.Tooty Fruity (www.tooty-fruity.com) specialises in creating delicious fruit bouquets and arrangements made entirely of fresh, hand sculpted fruit including strawberries, pineapple, grapes, oranges, cantaloupe and honeydew melon.

All bouquets are guaranteed fresh and are available in a variety of styles and sizes. They are perfect for any occasion from birthdays, thank you, get well and sympathy to business events, client gifts and employee appreciation. Each arrangement is made to order and there are special seasonal arrangements available throughout the year.Speaking about her business, Heather believes the inspiration for Tooty Fruity came from a point of personal desperation. She said: "I've got to be honest and say I was having a tough time just before Tooty Fruity was created. I suddenly found myself without a business idea, at the height of a recession and trying to juggle the commitments of bringing up two children on my own."Heather, who lives in Cardiff with her two young boys, continued: "On the day my house was due to be put on the market for sale, I sat crying at my computer. In despair, I suddenly thought about a mobile fruit and vegetable business my father had owned when I was a child, and started looking on the internet for fruit related ideas."She added: "I saw a concept of sculpting fruit to look like flowers and immediately knew that I could replicate the idea here in the UK. Starting the business from my kitchen table, within weeks I was earning thousands of pounds from a business that is rewarding, flexible and fun!"Due to national demand for the product and its perishable nature, Heather has now decided to share her 'sweet' secrets of success by offering a national, Tooty Fruity business start-up training programme, aimed at home-workers.Speaking about the programme, Heather said: "I want to offer people the same opportunity to have a flexible, healthy and fun business that can be run from home or as an additional income stream to an existing business."If you're interested in this fruitful business idea, visit: www.mytootyfruity.com.
