A Cambridge Marketing College alumnus has founded a catering business in Cambridge.

Pavitt's Pies of Cambridge offers homemade pies for delivery to shops and homes, and events catering. Inside their flaky pastry crusts are traditional English fillings and modern twists on the classics.

Founder Carri Pavitt launched the business in August 2011, having previously worked in the Marketing Division of Cambridge Assessment. She spent eight months researching her products and market, and has been rewarded with growing sales.

Carri finds that one of the most enjoyable things about starting her own business is "Being able to manage the whole scope of a business, rather than just one small element, and the motivation that delivers on a daily basis.

An alumnus of the College, Carri graduated from CMC in September 2009.  She says of the courses: "My CIM Qualifications have given me the confidence to be able to develop a strong business plan and the tools to implement this plan."

Carri studied the forerunner to the Professional Diploma, and then the Chartered Postgraduate Diploma; she gained knowledge of the essential marketing theory that she needed when an early temporary job turned into a full-time marketing position.

Now that Carri is taking her skills and experience and striking out as her own boss, Cambridge Marketing Colleges wish her the best of luck - and can confirm that the pies are delicious!
