Calling all mums! – it’s time to get nominating to vote for the UK’s top mums in business at MumsClub’s 4th annual Business Mum Awards – with headline sponsors MyFamilyClub.
The New Year has seen lots of headlines; Prime Minister David Cameron has announced his ideas for a more entrepreneurial Britain and the founder of the Business Mum Awards, Jane Hopkins, was made an MBE in the New Year’s honours in recognition to her services to entrepreneurship.
So in this significant year of the Queen’s Jubilee and hosting the Olympic Games, now is a great time to recognise the achievements of UK women who juggle the daily issues of raising a family whilst striving to generate an income.
Jane Hopkins MBE who created both mumsclub and the Business Mum Awards says “I am a firm believer in recognising the achievements in others, recognising such high achieving women helps create more role models that inspire the next generation of women juggling business with motherhood”
The award-winning support network, mumsclub, plays a nationwide role in encouraging and supporting women who may be seeking post-maternity options or alternatives to being a career, or a stay at home mum. The Business Mum Awards have recognised and rewarded those women who have started businesses and achieved success in a short space of time since 2008. Winners have gone on to great success including the ultimate goal for many of them having their products stocked in high street stores and even more exciting in overseas.
This year, previous award winners have been delighted to offer sponsorship, with many category winners sponsoring individual awards. Mum of two and entrepreneur Gemma Johnson (pictured 3rd from right), won an award for adversity last year and her new business MyFamilyClub is the headline sponsor for the event. Gemma says “I am a huge supporter of mumsclub and The Business Mum Awards. The support that I have received from other mums in business has been an enormous help, so I am delighted to be able to give back and support this year’s awards, giving a boost to the next generation of mums starting out in business.”
Further sponsors include Cara Sayer who with her business SnoozeShade won Business mum of the year 2010, Mumpreneur Shop, the business owned by Erica Douglas and Antonia Chitty who won best start up 2010 and Business Mum of the Year 2009 respectively, and Alison Pinney of Your Little Monkey and Mum’s Business Club Cambridge who won the Mumpreneur Advocate 2010 and Gill Hayward and Kellie Forbes of YUU World who won the high growth award 201
