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
