    This is an interview with the above named about the digital mentoring scheme whereby Sheffield Digital pair those experienced in the world of the digital with those less so.
    The Elf is has been paired with Mandy from https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/ as she has stacks of experience in making websites but much less so in promoting websites digitally. Mandy was frustrated by the clothing industry and the way it makes so many clothes, for women, that don't have pockets so she has made https://www.pocketsforwomen.co.uk/ and has linked up with various (many famous) companies to display the products they have that do have such options.
