The Fife Free Press, December 23, 2010

After two weeks break due to the seasonal weather, president Ruth Smyth welcomed fellow Rotarians and the speaker, Fiona Turnbull, Fife Regional Manager of The Prince’s Scottish Youth Business Trust and Arthur and Simon Krolczyk, to the breakfast meeting held in Balwearie Golf Club. (...) Fiona Turnbull gave an insight into the role of PSYBT and how it helps young people get into business by providing business loans and grants, help and support and a market test grants. One major achievement is that 82 per cent of brand new businesses continue to trade after three years. The PSYBT Business Networking Club run elevator events for people aged 18 to 30 who are in business or would like to be and they are always looking for dynamic speakers to tell their business story. Fiona the introduced Kirkcaldy based brothers, Arthur and Simon Krolczyk who set up their garden maintenance business three years ago. PSYBT played a part in the development of the business and gave support with language and cultural barriers. The brothers have no added landscaping and garden design to their business. They are involved in local community projects and would like to explore the commercial market. Being chosen as finalists in the Young Business Award gave them valuable recognition for their business and a personal boost of confidence. Keen to develop their network of contacts, their next project is to produce a regular magazine with topical hints and tips on gardening. Ideas and contribution are welcomed.
