We get to work in some really interesting premises. The team is currently installing a new fire safety system at The Annexe in Hope Street, Liverpool. Nestled away up the stone steps, a few doors past The Everyman Theatre, are a whole host of small businesses that the new system will be helping to protect. Here’s a run down on just a handful of them.

LIVERPOOL CAKE COMPANY
For the most beautiful hand made cakes, don’t pass this company by. We were staggered by the thought and detail when we checked them out on Facebook here. They even do Unicorn Cakes! Who can resist?
Just one of the amazing creations. A Royal Albert Old Country Roses tea set, for an 80th birthday.
THE PAINTED LADIES
A group of friends and artists running a tattoo and piercing studio together from the heart of Liverpool’s creative district. We’re sharing a post with some of their more conservative offerings below. But if you’re in the market for something all together more daring, then take a closer look at their Facebook page!
