Macclesfield man starts online business selling products from Asia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 15, 2010 -- Chris, 35, of Hovis Mill on Union Road, has given up a job as a marketing executive with a footwear company in order to start the business called The Camphor Tree.

His decision to do something else with his life follows a ‘holiday of a lifetime’ in the Far East that lasted almost 15 months during which time he visited China, Japan, Thailand and Vietnam.

“My travelling made me think that there might be a chance of doing something differently in the future,” said Chris.

“The products that I am selling via my website www.thecamphortree.co.uk are mainly hand-made, Fairtrade and sustainable products, and aimed at people that are looking for something a bit different.

“People won’t be able to buy these products in the big chains,” he added.

Products range from bamboo lamps to Japanese tea pots, to handcrafted wooden mirrors, and kitchen and dining room accessories.

“We have also attended a number of ‘gift markets’ in Cheshire recently and these have proved very popular,” said Chris.

“We hope to do more of these specialist types of markets in places like Alderley Edge and Knutsford in the near future as well, although our primary market is via the website to a national audience.”

Simon Nolan, from Bamboo Solutions in Bury, who developed Chris’ website, said: “We are being approached by more and more people that want to set up a business but online, in the first instance, rather than a traditional bricks and mortar business because people are realising that this can be a much more affordable way to start a business.”
