DAMIAN Cowell is boxing clever in his new venture!
The Darwen entrepreneur has seen his one man band grow to employ five staff in just over a year.
Cowell Enterprises, which was set up under the Firmbase programme for start-up businesses, supplies pallets and packing cases and also manufactures furniture for local garden centres.
"Setting up a business is very rewarding but it is not without risks which is why getting the right support is vital," said Damian.
"With Firmbase I got assistance in preparing a proper business plan and counselling from the Enterprise Agency."
