GREAT GRANDMOTHER, 83, SETS UP ONLINE BUSINESS
Jean Robson, 83, from Slough set up her online business Handmaid, selling hand-made personalised gifts, at the end of last month and orders are already coming in. While others may be enjoying the quiet life in retirement, the 83-year-old is happiest in her work. She said: "I have exceptionally good health and I’m exceptionally fit. I would be bored out of my mind if I did nothing. I’m much fitter than most people 20 years younger than me. I live healthily, I grow my own food and don't smoke."
Before she moved to Slough, she lived in Burnham and ran her own shop – Handmaid – for 17 years. Now the website allows Jean to run her 'one-man-band' business from home, where she has lived since her husband died.
Jean, who has two children, four grandchildren and two great grandchildren, said: "Basically all I like doing is working. My job is what I would do as a hobby anyway. I never thought it would really take off but within a week of getting the website up and running I got my first order and I’ve had more since." She added: "The technology doesn't frighten me, I've been using a computer for quite a few years now."
Jean makes the gifts herself for births, christenings, weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and Christmas. Her most popular ranges include babies' cot quilts, cushions, make-up bags and greeting cards.
