A Fenland couple are celebrating a "fabulous" first year in business.

Alice Howard and Nic Goss, who run The Bearded Etcher from their home in Wimblington, launched their personalised gifting company in November 2024. 

Since then, they have become popular traders at events and markets across Cambridgeshire.

Most recently, the couple sold their etched wood and slate products at the Doddington Christmas lights switch-on and in Wimblington.

Alice said: "It’s been a fabulous first year.

"It’s so lovely to meet everyone who has purchased something from us or come to see us at one of the many events we have been involved in.

"It makes their customised products feel even more special as we get to hear the stories behind the gifts too."

She added that making these connections has also helped the business to donate vouchers and products to small community groups, including The Great Doddington Scone Off.

"Huge thank you to all our customers, family and friends as, without you all, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy doing what we do."

The Bearded Etcher can be found on Etsy as well as Facebook and Instagram.
