Mum's in Business Free Networking Event


Kiwans Solicitors are offering free networking support to busy mum's who are looking for appropriate channels to promote their business.

The 'Mums in Business' events are held at convenient times, and allow working mothers to talk business with like-minded women in city centre locations.
The programme is the brainchild of solicitor Claire Currie, who works in the Private Client department of Kirwans, which has offices across Merseyside.
Claire was inspired to create a networking group which mums in business could attend at times which didn‟t interfere with their family commitments when she was on maternity leave.

She said: “Whilst I was on maternity leave, I attended various mums‟ groups and met some great people who were also professionals.

“Upon returning to work, I once again started attending the more traditional networking groups and found that most meetings were either early in the morning or after work which often conflicted with the commitments of family life .

“It was from this viewpoint that the idea of the Mums in Business group was formed – events held in the middle of the day which would allow mums to easily attend.

“It has developed into a warm friendly group where everyone is welcomed. As mums, all members of the group understand the pressures of professional v‟s family life and it can be challenging to achieve the right balance. It was clear from the launch that attendees were finding value in not only having the opportunity to make new business connections but to also speak with likeminded women.”

The next Mums in Business event takes place at the Hard Days Night Hotel on North John Street in Liverpool city centre on Wednesday, January 25 from 12-2pm. Attendance is free, but those attending must register in advance.
