Mums on the Buses Boost the UK Economy

NatWest is supporting mum entrepreneurs (Mumpreneurs) by lending its iconic purple branded bus to the Mumpreneurs Networking Club as they do a whistle stop tour of 4 UK locations in May: Guildford, Brighton, Kingston and Portsmouth.

The Mumpreneur economy (businesses run by mothers with children under 18) generated £7.2bn for the UK economy in 2014 supporting over 200,000 jobs. That figure is predicted to rise to £9.5bn by 2025 according to research carried out by EBay.

The goal for the bus tour is to inspire more mothers to start their own businesses, to offer support and advice to those running businesses and to showcase some excellent examples of successful Mumpreneurs who will inspire the ‘bus tour ticket holders.’

The Mumpreneurs Networking Club Bus Tour, sponsored by DotUK starts on May 16th in Guildford, May 17th in Kingston, May 25th in Brighton and May 26th in Portsmouth. Each tour starts from 10am to 4pm and has a packed agenda covering off all aspects of running a business with advisors (who are mumpreneurs) giving free advice sessions.
