Dawn's Ink and Computer Supplies expands into new home

A ROTHERHAM ink company is staying in the black . . .  and expanding to bigger premises.

Dawn Ordish, of Dawn’s Ink and Computer Supplies, began her business six years ago on a stall in Rotherham’s indoor market.

The business grew quickly and moved into a shop in Eastwood Lane.

But the business has now outgrown that, and so Dawn has taken on new premises, nearly double the size, on Howard Street.

 Rotherham council’s director of planning and regeneration Paul Woodcock said:

“Dawn’s expanding business proves Rotherham Market is an ideal starting place for budding entrepreneurs.

“We want to focus on encouraging this by working with our Business Coaches to identify potential businesses that may benefit from using the Market as a test trading ground for their products before committing to a retail unit and lease agreement.”

Dawn said: “I’m thrilled things are going so well and I’ve yet again moved to bigger and better premises where I can offer a wider range of services.

“I wanted to stay in the markets complex as that’s where I started and where my loyal customers have been coming for years.”

The business now offers late night opening until 7pm every Thursday, Internet access for the general public through five dedicated PC booths, a full repairs service for computer and printing equipment with its own dedicated technician and has extended her ink range with laser toners for business needs.

Market's  manager Robin Lambert said: “It’s always nice to see one of our traders doing well - especially when they expand from a stall into their own shop unit.

“It’s even better that in the space of six years, Dawn has managed to do this twice.

“We’re glad Dawn's chosen to remain within the markets complex and we hope that it's due in part to the high levels of footfall through the market and the support that my team offers to traders.”
