Nic Gray
Hailsham based business owner Nic Gray shares her journey from bullied school kid, overcoming anxiety and building her own multi award-winning business whilst raising two young children.
From a young age I was bullied for various reasons, “too tall”, “too skinny” the list goes on. As the years went on it inevitably started to affect my confidence and anxiety kicked in.
As I went into the workplace at aged 17, I continued to experience bullying in different shapes or forms. I still managed to develop a great career for over twenty years within credit control and, in later years, bookkeeping.
When the Pandemic hit, I was heavily pregnant with my second child and my anxiety was at its worst. I developed a huge love of supporting small businesses and after trying a few areas settled on starting my Virtual Assistant business Nic Gray PA.
Networking has been a huge part of my business journey; I’ve met some incredible people along the way who have believed in me even when I felt like I didn’t believe in myself.
I’ve had to learn to overcome anxiety, to step out of my comfort zone and tell my story. I want to empower others to do the same.
Since 2021 I have been a finalist and also won some awards in my field.
Last month I was privileged to attend Theo Paphitis’ Small Business Sunday Event at the Birmingham ICC, having been chosen as a winner back in November 2022.
No matter what you go through in life, you can achieve anything you want to with determination and self belief.
