The Other Businesses of HeartCo

Over the years, HeartCo has grown through collaboration, creativity, and a strong network of like-minded businesses. While our core ventures include Media Sussex, YourStory Video, and our wedding tools, we’ve also had the pleasure of founding, supporting, or closely working with several other businesses—each with their own unique flavour and story.

This page celebrates those connections. From past projects like Build Me Mini, to long-time partnerships with trusted names like Quoakle.com, and personal ventures such as OliveJoy Photography, these businesses may sit outside the day-to-day of HeartCo, but they remain very much part of our wider story.

Build Me Mini

Build Me Mini was a playful and creative e-commerce venture founded by Stephen Holdstock—offering custom LEGO-style minifigures for weddings, birthdays, and all sorts of special occasions. It combined nostalgia with personalisation, making it a favourite for collectors and gift-givers alike. At its peak, it sold thousands of unique mini characters to customers across the UK and beyond. In 2023, Build Me Mini was sold to Lemon Labels, who now continue the brand with fresh energy and a growing range of personalised gifts. Though no longer part of HeartCo, the business represents one of our early successes and remains a proud part of our journey.

OliveJoy Photography

OliveJoy Photography is a Sussex-based wedding and family photography business run by Becky Holdstock, a long-time creative collaborator and former part of the HeartCo brand family. With a relaxed and natural style, OliveJoy captures real-life joy in beautiful, light-filled imagery—often working alongside YourStory Video to deliver photo and video coverage as a seamless team. While OliveJoy now operates independently, HeartCo continues to support the business behind the scenes with branding and website management. The shared creative values and personal connection make this an ongoing partnership we’re proud of.

Quoakle

Quoakle is a directory-style business that’s been helping people find great local services and businesses online for nearly two decades. Though never owned by HeartCo, we’ve worked closely with the Quoakle team on various projects, including digital listings, website improvements, and collaborative promotion of small businesses across the UK. The relationship between HeartCo and Quoakle is one built on mutual trust, shared values, and a passion for helping independent businesses thrive. It’s a partnership that reflects HeartCo’s wider ethos—collaborating with people who care about creativity, community, and making good things happen online.
