WIBS Member's Profile: Caroline Bowley, WIBS President

My Company:
Decorate in Style – I work as an Interior Design Consultant.

Project:
I'm also the President of the Festival de International de Arte Marbella which takes place in Marbella every June. It's an all encompassing event with Fine Art, sculpture, photography & performing arts. Visit website www.festivaldeartemarbella.com

What makes your business special?
I have always have had flair for design, and working with my father in the greetings card industry gave me good insight. I find the important part of my work is to listen to clients’ requirements. Knowing and understanding what they want makes my job easier to put their project together so that they have a scheme that fits in with their lifestyle and budget.

Likes and Dislikes:
I love to cook, and invent recipes, also enjoy needlepoint when I have time and read a good novel. Dislike bad language, crazy drivers here in Spain and bad manners.


Top business tips:

•Listen and learn, each day you learn something new and add to your knowledge.
•Be organized, and have a positive attitude to everything you do.
•Be happy – if you are happy then you radiate it to all the people you meet.


Why you love living in Spain:
The weather, the people the language the food.


Any special offer for WIBS members?
Any member that wants to chat about a decoration scheme no matter how large or small, or wants me to source something for them I will give them a free consultation.
