Touchwood Enterprise – A Launchpad for New Businesses
Touchwood Enterprise gives start-up businesses the opportunity to showcase their products or services in a busy retail environment, helping them test the market and grow their brand while minimising financial risk.
The scheme has already supported a variety of emerging businesses, with previous participants showcasing everything from jewellery, candles and cosmetics to confectionery and clothing.
We provide a purpose-built retail kiosk, available at a competitive rate of £375 + VAT per week (Monday to Sunday), with no long-term commitment.
The bespoke kiosk features integrated lighting, built-in storage and a digital screen to showcase your brand, giving you everything you need to create an attractive and engaging retail space.
Whether you're looking to test a new product, build brand awareness, connect with customers or generate sales, Touchwood Enterprise offers an ideal opportunity to experience trading in a busy retail environment.
Businesses can apply to use the Touchwood Enterprise unit for up to two weeks.

Babsie Baby Boutique
'My customers truly appreciate the love, care and craftsmanship that go into each of my knitters handmade creations. Seeing them share photos of their purchases and the joy those pieces bring them is incredibly rewarding and inspires me to do even better. I believe this personal connection is one of the reasons I've been able to sustain and grow my business. Every piece is unique, and what I offer goes far beyond a simple transaction. It's about creating something special, building relationships and being part of someone's story. It’s not just about sales for me. I embrace my time here because there is always something priceless to learn.
Not only am I happy that I took the leap of faith of starting my small business, I feel so lucky to have been given the opportunity to work with the amazing management team at Touchwood who have been supportive and always kind. I would advise any persons who are looking to start or even trial their business to contact them asap! You won't regret it!’.

'As a small independent publisher Brewin Books has found working with Touchwood an incredibly positive experience. With the majority of our business currently conducted B2B the kiosk gives us the rare opportunity to connect directly with our customer base. Not only does this benefit us by way of extra sales, at full retail price, but it also enables us to get customer feedback about our products. This information can be extremely useful especially when deciding upon future titles within our range. Working in a safe and warm environment it also gives us the opportunity to extend our customer base by way of significant impulse sales and increased brand awareness. We would wholeheartedly recommend Touchwood kiosk to other businesses considering participating'.
