With painstaking attention to details, her team manufactures and installs long-lasting quality furniture of a beauty that time cannot wash away.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In what way is your business unique?<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe originality of the projects we develop is outstanding in addition to the broad scope of products we are able to offer with all of the sub-contractors who support us\u201d says Laura-Anne. \u201cWe try not to have limits in our designs or use of materials. We work with metal, wood and glass. We don\u2019t just make cupboards. We can make stairs and guardrails. This is architectural furniture making. Most of the time it is functional, but we are sometimes on the fringe of art.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why have you chosen to be entrepreneurs?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGhislain and myself were unable to find employment in the region for what we wanted to accomplish\u201d explained Laura-Anne. \u201cOur passion led us to become entrepreneurs, to create employment and to like our job. We also felt that the offer of made-to-measure furniture could be improved in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did support from the SADC help you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>First, Maille obtained financing. \u201cIt was one of the most advantageous offers in the region\u201d mentioned the young entrepreneur. \u201cIt is a personal loan and it\u2019s really interesting as seed capital to start up a business.\u201d Maille also had support from the SADC during the pandemic, including support for a structuring project. This assistance \u201callowed us to conduct strategic planning, to have support to review the structure of the business and to become more efficient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about a recent noteworthy achievement of which you are especially proud as an entrepreneur (ex.: in the field of sustainable development).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe always try to select the most sustainable materials\u201d specified Laura-Anne. \u201cWe recently submitted a research theme to the CIRADD (a research centre attached to the C\u00e9gep de la Gasp\u00e9sie and des \u00celes), which was accepted. Students in nature science who work in a partnership with CIRADD staff will make proposals to us on how to recycle the cuttings from our materials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to anyone who is considering starting up a business in the Baie-des-Chaleurs region?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to be a little naive. Don\u2019t ask yourself too many questions. Try it, go!\u201d suggests Laura-Anne. \u201cI think that our success is due to the fact that we\u2019re passionate about it. But you have to realize that you won\u2019t always be doing what is a passion for you.\u201d Open-mindedness and collaboration are also essential. \u201cIt\u2019s important not to be afraid of asking for help when dealing with something you know less about and to seek good support from the right people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Laura-Anne Lamarche and Ghislain Dea<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Co-founders of the\u00a0<em>Maille Atelier collaboratif<\/em>, Laura-Anne Lamarche and Ghislain Dea have complementary know how in their business.
