Event: Luton Mums Business Club 18th February

As more UK mums plan home businesses, one Luton mum is starting a local revolution.

Luton businesswoman Ade Lokman set up on her own when she was on maternity leave. She saw an opportunity to be her own boss, set her own hours and spend more time with her family whilst generating a second income for her family and now runs Gift Aid Association.

Backed by mumsclub, the award winning business network for mums, Ade is organising a free business club for mums like her and is looking for other local like minded women to help her build their own network of Luton business mums.

Ade says: “Our local mum’s business club is a great initiative and a fantastic way to unite more business mums in Luton, which will both highlight the work of our mum owned businesses in and around Luton as well as support and encourage the growth of more.”

Ade has already been busy recruiting, but needs more mums to join. She is looking for local mums who are either in business or just thinking about it, to meet up (with the children!) at the Rising Sun Public House in Slip End every month to share business tips and get to know other like minded mums.

Mumsclub will supply free copies of the latest Business Mum’s Journal, packed with great business ideas and tips for any mum who has ever wanted to run her own business from home. There will be an opportunity to meet (and question!) other ‘mumpreneurs’ like Ade, in a friendly and relaxed environment and all are welcome.

Right now, there are mums, just like Ade, all over the country running successful businesses from home; juggling the madness of family life with business. The latest BT survey suggests this number is set to increase with more working mothers planning to launch their own business in 2010 in a bid for a better work/life balance.

The survey results showed the UK was experiencing an increase in Mumpreneurs, partly fuelled by the emergence of online social networks which created more business opportunities for women. Jane Hopkins, founder of mumsclub, agrees, “Networking is the key to business success and being a mum at home, online is often the only way to meet other like minded women. The likes of Facebook, Twitter and mumpreneur forums are uniting these mums, who are able to share experiences and are actively supporting one another to build their unique, quirky and successful businesses from home”
