ABOUT Darya Simonovich
I am Darya, the CEO and founder of Chelsea Creperie, a coffee shop on Fulham Road, and Chelsea Swim Spa, a swim school for children. I also rent properties short term for filming and advertising. I have a few other cool ideas in the making, such as a dog hotel, and really would like to take my workshops for entrepreneurs to another level.
Last but not least, I am a mum of three: two girls and a boy.
In 2021, I graduated from the 10K Small Businesses Growth Programme run by Oxford University and Goldman Sachs, a free programme that I would highly recommend to anyone. I am a business mentor for the ‘Help to Grow’ government programme.
I’m currently writing a book ‘The Immigrant Entrepreneur: 21 Practical Hacks for Business Resilience.’
The book tells the story of my journey to the United Kingdom, where I arrived with very basic English, without knowing anyone, and with barely enough money to survive for a few days. Despite these challenges, I managed to build several businesses from scratch, and I believe that if I could do it, anyone can.
Would love to connect with you all!

ABOUT Pride Road Architecture Franchise
The Pride Road Franchise grew out of Founder Lisa Raynes’ refusal to accept that there was only one way for a woman to have an architecture career and a family life. She built her practice in the domestic sector, and then invested to turn her business into one that other ambitious architects wanting work/life balance can buy into. She’s had a seat on the RIBA Council (2015-18), been Chair of Women in Property NW and founded Manchester Curious, an urban architecture outreach festival. A key focus of the Pride Road Franchise business in a box is the fully-automated customer relation management system, this system helps lead a flow of new clients to our franchisees.
