This is part of a year-long ‘Love for Local’ series called NB365: portraits of New Brunswick entrepreneurs, businesses and organizations. Huddle is a media partner with Love for Local. Today, we hear from Hélène Angers of Ah! Communications in Edmundston.

WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY. THE WILL CAME FROM MY STRENGTH OF CHARACTER AND MY FAMILY SUPPORT. THE WAY CAME FROM THE FACT THAT I WANTED TO OFFER MYSELF A PROFESSIONAL QUALITY OF LIFE DEFINED BY MY SKILLS AND MY PASSIONS.
I wanted to be generous with my time and knowledge while maintaining a balance. When you are passionate about your job, it becomes your way of life. It was also important for me to work in a creative and inspiring space. Being a visual communicator is a perfect fit for a home office and offers me unparalleled schedule flexibility.

By supporting our local businesses and professional companies, we ensure their sustainability! The impact of our purchasing decisions and the retention of local services ensures that we will always be able to find the products we love, the food we love and the patronage of those we love. I am grateful that I will soon be celebrating 19 years in business! Not only do I have a job that I am passionate about, but it allows me to share my creativity with my clients.

Supporting local businesses has a real impact because it helps ensure the economic health of the region. Our purchasing and hiring decisions of professional service providers directly influence the ability of our entrepreneurs to share their skills and sell their products, as well as employ our family members and friends. Ultimately, this is what creates the wealth of our community!
