Celebrating Small Business: Cold Gold Artisan Ice-Cream & Sorbet

It has been said, ‘You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy ice-cream. And that’s kind of the same thing.’ This idea is at the heart of our featured #SmallBizFriday Business of the Week - Cold Gold Artisan Ice-Cream & Sorbet. Cold Gold creates speciality 100% natural ice-cream and sorbet. With over 800 flavours, free from preservatives, artificial flavouring, colouring and stabilisers, they also cater for a variety of dietary requirements including vegan, banting, low carb high fat, diabetic and paleo. This means that Cold Gold ice-cream truly is a guilt-free delight. What makes it even more noteworthy is that Cold Gold not only uses natural, local, seasonal ingredients but believes in supporting small local businesses, entrepreneurs and farmers as far as possible. Their aim is to empower them to grow their businesses as Cold Gold grows theirs.

Become super successful NOW

My definition of success? Doing what you love, every day doing more of the things that make you happier, while at the same time making a good living. – Mike Anderson Research shows that a lack of natural talent is irrelevant to great success. The secret is painful, demanding practise and hard work. Are you willing to go after success? Do you have a clear vision? Do you have a burning desire? Are you willing to fail? If so, you are well on your way to succeeding.
