Happiness Delivered

When Simon and Marija Nash arrived in Canada from the UK in 2015, they were seasoned entrepreneurs, and as such, were looking not only for a new way to make a living, but a new problem to solve. They quickly found a missing in the market around kids play solutions - or the lack thereof.


Hundreds of kids parties, events and various other occasions later, they find themselves, in March 2020, in the same place as every other small business. Hanging on for dear life, as the Covid 19 pandemic spreads around the world, wreaking havoc and stopping businesses in their tracks.


With a cancellation of a major booking in Banff, Simon and Marija had some time on their hands, and Dave caught up with them over a Zoom call, to hear and share their compelling beginnings, their precarious present, and their optimistic future.
