24/ 9/2004
Bolton businesswoman Fazila Malek's frozen foods has been such a
hit with her customers taste buds that it has lead to her being
shortlisted for a top award.
Fazila who owns K&F Food was nominated for the Business Link
woman entrepreneur of the year award .
She was also runner up in the 2004 North West ethnic business of
the year competition.
Fazila started her shop in 1999 and now boasts a modern
manufacturing plant producing a range of hand made halal frozen
products and chilled ready meals using traditional recipes and
fresh ingredients.
Said Fazila: "The most important thing Business Link has given me
is confidence.
"Running a business can be very scary at times when you have little
experience and I might have felt like giving up without having my
advisor to turn to."
Advisor from Business Link, Geoff Hindley said Fazila was never
afraid to seek their help.
"Each time we have visited we have been able to identify different
needs and introduced specialist advisers to get results.
"Since being established, this has now become a thriving company
