Good luck to Natalie’s new business in Oban

IT IS always pleasing to see new businesses start up in Oban and its surrounding area.

Nothing, after all, shows quite as much confidence in the local economy as a budding entrepreneur who thinks they have identified a gap in a market and have the belief to invest their hard-earned cash in an idea they hope will succeed. So I extend the best of wishes to a young lady I know who on Saturday opened her new enterprise – a makeup and beauty bar called Oro Rosa in Oban’s High Street.

Natalie Pacitti has spent the past few weeks preparing her new business for its big opening event, which was held on Friday ahead of trading starting officially on Saturday.

I hope she is a roaring success.
