 | What a wonderful weekend at the Mumpreneur Conference and Awards! Angela, founder and MD of Lingotot and Lingotot Marketing Manager, Michelle Rose, travelled down from Co Durham to Warwickshire for a fun-packed weekend. The fabulous Mumpreneur team had lined up some excellent guest speakers, SEVEN of them, all of whom were brilliant. First up was Yasmina Siadatan, winner of the fifth series of BBC1's The Apprentice, who is now the Creative Director of Start-Up Loans Company. |
The government-backed scheme provides funding and mentoring to entrepreneurs. Some of our franchisees here at Lingotot have received this funding to kick-start their franchises, so if you'd like to join us but are struggling for cash it's one way to get started.
Next was Bill Morrow from Angel's Den who helps female entrepreneurs access funding for their fledgling business ventures. He was followed by Anna Kennedy OBE. She set up a school for autistic children after her two autistic sons were turned away from mainstream education. As we teach in many special needs schools we'd love to keep in touch with Anne!
We were all surprised by Henry Patterson (10 years old), founder of British children’s brand, Not Before Tea. What a fantastic public speaker! We should teach him some languages so he can deliver speeches internationally. He told us afterwards that although he is successful in business, he gets £5 per week pocket money.

 Mumpreneur Award |  Meeting Annabel Karmel |  Delighted with our award! |
Annabel Karmel was amazing! As a mum I of course have some of her books in the back of my cupboard, but hearing her talk about her business inspiration was wonderful; I laughed and cried in the space of a single minute. Caprice was the last guest speaker of the day and afterwards we had a lovely chat about juggling motherhood with business. She gushed about her sons Jett and Jax. She was very glamorous yet down-to-earth!
