She is delighted to have won the awards for Best Educational Business for Young People AND Best New Business for Children or Young People.

Davina, who lives in Bayston Hill, added: “Lingotot is already successful and has been growing rapidly in the past couple of years. Sessions are offered to nurseries and schools and there are also a number of community sessions too.

“I had an amazing day at the Businesses for Children Awards and I'm very proud, and shocked, to be able to say that Lingotot Shrewsbury & Telford won TWO categories after only a year in operation!”

This has been a busy year for Davina, who gave birth to her second son while setting up her business. Both of her boys attend Lingotot classes. Visit Lingotot Shrewsbury and Telford's Facebook Page to see some videos of them in action!

Here at Lingotot we're delighted to announce that our very own Davina Hamilton has been nominated for the New Business BizMums Award.

Davina Hamilton runs Lingotot sessions in community centres, nurseries and schools in Shrewsbury and Telford. What makes her success even more remarkable is that she has only recently given birth to her second son alongside running the business alongside her job as a vet AND she doesn't even speak any languages! Instead she recruits highly-qualified tutors to teach the sessions.

Davina says, “I think it’s a fantastic idea to teach children while they are so young as they learn much more quickly. The Government announced last year that children as young as five will be taught a language, but there is a lot of research that shows they learn a language even better from a younger age.”

She adds, “Lingotot is already successful and has been growing rapidly in the past couple of years. Sessions are offered to nurseries and schools and there are also a number of community sessions too. When I heard about Lingotot from a friend and was told about the franchises I thought it would be a great opportunity."

The awards take place on Saturday 14th September 2013, Lord Hill Hotel in Shrewsbury from 10am – 5pm.
