Gina has managed to defy staggering odds by setting up a successful business while serving a prison sentence. With the help of a loan from The Prince's Trust, Gina set up a floristry business providing flowers for both Holloway and Pentonville Prisons.
Before setting up her company Gina was struggling to find purpose in life. Now she not only has a thriving business, but is giving something back to society. She employs other prisoners, teaching them new skills and giving them new hope for the future.
The company has gone from strength to strength and she now has an ever-expanding customer base, including Dragon's Den star James Caan. Gina said: “To think how much my life has changed in the last few years is amazing. I was a convicted prisoner looking at life on benefits when I was inside, but now thanks to The Prince's Trust I am a successful businesswoman with my future ahead of me.”
