A business entrepreneur is aiming to expand her company after swapping working in noisy cafes for her own purpose-built meeting room and office. Catherine Williams, founder of Popcats Music Time singing and dancing classes for pre-school children, is now rolling out franchises around north west England, with plans to open soon in Liverpool. She ran the business from home, holding meetings in cafes and other public venues but became frustrated by the lack of privacy and space. So she decided to create an office and meeting room in the garden of her Wirral home. Thanks to Rubicon Garden Rooms, the 41-year-old can now sit down with clients and franchisees in a “professional” office space rather than having to travel to meet them at busy coffee shops.
