NEW Forest art and jewellery store Reklava is set to appear on TV's Risking It All.

Filming is in progress at the store for series two of the Channel 4 entrepreneurs' show.

Presenter Martin Webb - a multimillionaire entrepreneur - will outline how Jaguar design engineer James Cotty and his wife Kate, an IT consultant, quit their jobs to return to their Hampshire roots and launch Reklava in Lyndhurst last Friday.

Kate said: "We were both bored with nine to five office jobs. We felt this wasn't fulfilling - we wanted something a bit more rewarding.

"We chose Lyndhurst because of the bargain (shop) rentals and it's such a nice place."

The two sold their house in the Midlands and are ploughing around £70,000 into Reklava.

Risking It All contacted them after they replied to its ad in a TV listings magazine.

Multimillionaire Martin Webb turned his £10,000 investment into £15 million in eight years.

He made his fortune by selling C-Side, the leisure company he co-founded on a shoestring in 1993 and grew from one site to 28 leisure venues. His businesses have ranged from restaurants to radio stations, and from a digital printing company to his newest project - a country sports centre in France.

Series one of Risking It All last year attracted around three million viewers.

Series two will also feature a restaurant in Kent, a Burgess Hill wine bar, an Arundel play centre, a London male grooming salon and a Brighton juice bar.
