Calling all mums with an entrepreneurial streak, National Business Mum Week is coming to Cardiff!

This year sees the first ever Business Mum Week, a week of activities and meet ups across the UK. This week is dedicated to women who balance business with family life on a daily basis to ensure a better future for their families. Mum of three Kaz Deacon, 30 of Llangennech, is ensuring the mums of Cardiff are included.

Kaz herself will be hosting a baby show on Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th October from 10am - 2pm at City Hall, Cardiff . Free copies of the latest Business Mum’s Journal will be available and any mum who has ever wanted to run her own business from home and there will be opportunity to meet (and question!) other ‘mumpreneurs’ like Kaz, in a friendly and relaxed environment.

In the lead-up to Business Mum Week, Kaz, as the Cardiff co-ordinator, is also looking for mums across the county to hold their own events. Full support is available and it promises to be a great week for uniting local women in business.

Kaz Deacon, of Maud’s Baby Show and organiser of Cardiff Business Mum Week says: “Business Mum Week is a great initiative and I’m happy to do everything I can to unite the business mums of Cardiff and South Wales and ensure more local women with children are aware of the family friendly working options out there. This is a great way to both highlight the work of our mum owned businesses in and around Cardiff and support the growth of more.”

MumsClub founder, Jane Hopkins, says: “This is the perfect time for Business Mum Week. With so many redundancies and the future potential for job losses, it is an important time for families to have options. Being self employed is the perfect way to combine family life with generating a second income. Women now have the freedom to get paid to do something they love. Great for household finances, great for self esteem, great for work-life balance. Starting up from home is low cost, low risk and incredibly rewarding. The dedication of our local mums has been astounding. Credit crunch? What credit crunch?”
