About the business
Tuktuk Thai Taste was founded by Lanya Sermsuktawee in November 2024. The business offers authentic Thai cuisine to local customers, blending traditional flavours with modern takeaway convenience. From the beginning, the business has focused on delivering quality, while responding to growing demand in the area.
I’ve had an incredible start to my business journey. Business Gateway has been invaluable - Michelle’s support has helped me turn my ideas into a real, growing business. With the advice and guidance I’ve received, I’m planning to expand into a commercial kitchen and I’m excited to see what the future holds.
How Business Gateway has helped
To help spread the word about Tuktuk Thai Taste, Lanya has received tailored guidance from Business Gateway adviser Michelle Maddox, including support with developing a business plan, cash flow projections and marketing strategies to raise the business’s local profile. This work has been supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
Lanya received advice on the food and drink sector, including seasonal trends, takeaway operations and strategies to expand into local events and festivals.
Business Gateway also helped Lanya explore opportunities for sustainable growth, including digital development such as social media and website engagement.
Additional guidance and financial support were provided via Perth and Kinross Council, helping the business make informed decisions about its expansion plans and providing essential support.
