A two-and-a-half year old SME which produces fruit and vegetable drinks shall be increasing its workforce to four following a capital investment of around €300,000.

The company, Smoochie Ltd, was today visited today by Parliamentary Secretary Jason Azzopardi. It had been set up through the Malta Enterprise scheme Equal. The scheme was aimed at women who wanted to start a business.

Sandra Zammit grabbed this opportunity and through the assistance given balanced her professional life with the needs of a married mother.

Dr Azzopari said that Mrs Zammit’s story was a clear example that the government was offering concrete help to encourage initiative.

The company was now seeing how it could benefit from other schemes and would be announcing the production of new and innovative natural products in the coming days.
