Xero Climb Aboard to Help Mums on a Mission to the Moon
8th December 2016Multi award winning accounting software firm, Xero have boarded the Mums Enterprise to join a mission to help thousands of mums ‘Shoot for the Moon’.
In 2016 two mums launched the Mums Enterprise Roadshow with the mission of changing the work and business lives of mums for the better, forever. Through child-friendly, business exhibitions aimed at helping those wanting to start-up, grow a business or those unsure of their options when the 9-5 doesn’t work for them.
With two pilot exhibitions held in the summer of 2016 the events have been described as ‘life changing’ by attendees. Captain, Lindsey Fish and First Mate, Lucy Chaplin have huge ambitions to take the events to thousands of mums across the UK with the next stop being Brighton in February 2017.
With the ‘Mum Economy’ movement gathering pace Xero recognised the roadshow as an opportunity to give those mums in attendance a real boost; “At Xero we’re passionate about helping small businesses grow, so it felt natural to support Mums Enterprise – a wonderful series of event across the UK to help boost our nation of entrepreneurial mums to success” commented Darren Upson, Xero, Marketing Director.
The next event takes place in Brighton on Thursday 23rd February at the AMEX Community Stadium and will head to London and Birmingham later in 2017. The exhibition is the only event of its kind to deliver the comprehensive content of a national business exhibition, to talented mums in easy to access regional venues.
Founder Lindsey comments: “The Mums Enterprise Roadshow will help facilitate the growth of the Mums Economy in the UK, increasing the number of businesses launched by mums and the continued success and growth of parent owned businesses. We are the organisers but are in the same shoes as the attendees as we strive to make our startup work. It’s the amazing partners and exhibitors like Xero who can truly help our attendees succeed we just bring them all together.”
The roadshow is free for mums to attend with no obligations, but space is limited and attendees must register. For more information visit www.mumsenterprise.events
