Ref. 73192-24Amanda Taylor, 39, of Springfield Crescent Wootton Bassett began her jewellery business, Tigermoon, in April this year.

Her company sells locally-made silver jewellery as well as importing silver and gem-set pieces from all over the world.

Amanda decided to become her own boss after realising that she needed a flexible job that she could fit in around her life as a busy mum of two.

A friend lent her the money to buy some jewellery from Thailand and since then it's been a roaring success.

Amanda, right, said: "It's going better than I ever thought."

She sent in the competition entry along with some examples of her packaging and was surprised to hear she had made it into the finalists.

Amanda attributes her success to keeping her prices low and providing her customers with a personal touch, which is obviously paying off.

She said: "I have already started to receive thank you letters from customers."
