Kayleigh Hisim, who co-owns Milford Cards & Gifts with husband Sinan in the small town of Milford-On-Sea on the south coast, has an eclectic range of greetings to meet all customers’ needs.

The pair thoroughly enjoyed their trip to PG Live last week and Kayleigh told PG: “We have lots of new designs lined up and lots of ideas for the future.
