Mum Magnates - 2008 Research
Following research from Yellow Pages last year, which established that mums who run their own businesses contribute £4.4bn* to the UK economy, Yell.com decided to investigate what makes a business mum such a success. Why do mums make such good business leaders?
By surveying 200 business mums, Yell.com - the online service from Yellow Pages - has revealed the underlying motivations, challenges and skill sets which drive entrepreneurial mothers every day. You can download the full 'Mum Magnates' study below.
*Figure based on the average turnover of 224 business mums surveyed by Yellow Pages in 2006 (£26, 323) multiplied by the number of self-employed mothers working from home (167, 353 according to 2006 figures from the Labour Force Survey).

I set up my own company last year and it's certainly been a rollacoaster of a ride. I loved Jane Hopkins comment. We are organising a fantastic free family event called Brighton Baby Expo in June working with Jo Jo Maman Bebe and Gymboree and welcoming hundreds of exhibitors. We are featuring a special seminar on the challenges 'mumtrepreneurs' face with the Mums in Biz Founder and Dragons Den survivor Julie White of Truly Madly Baby. We would love to welcome any biz mums along ! brightonbabyexpo.co.uk
