Altrincham Duck

Another outstanding ParentPreneur Networking event in Hale for Altrincham and Hale parents with their own business.

We were honoured to have Naomi Timperley as our guest speaker. Dragons Den survivor Timperley is a director of 4Hub CIC, a social enterprise consultancy that supports communities, enterprise and startups, and she’s also the creator of My Big Social Idea.

This year she was named in the “Maserati 100”, a definitive list of Britain’s most successful business leaders actively supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Naomi spoke openly about her recent battle with depression, saying that she is taking everything step by step.  She said, if there was one thing she would change “looking back I wouldn’t put so much pressure on myself”, something most of the parentpreneur audience could relate too. 

She offered some amazing advise and invaluable experience, saying “don’t be closed, talk to people.  If you want to change something get off your backside and do it”.

Businesses that attended were from business coach to PR specialist, beautician to hat creator.  All businesses and parents with their individual story, all with an overwhelming array of life changing circumstances, that had led them to the path of being a ParentPreneur and putting family and precious time as a priority in their lives.  Some parents attended were thinking about leaving full time employment to become a parentpreneur, seeking guidance from those who are living the life.

Angela Roberts, founder of ParentPreneur said, “More and more families are taking the option of a stay at home parent, be it the mum or dad, and having their own business.  It can however be a very lonely place at times, that’s why our networking events are amazing at bringing likeminded people together to motivate, inspire and remind ourselves why we do what we do”.

The Altrincham and Hale ParentPreneur event will be monthly, the next one again at The Tour de Belfort, Broomfield Lane, Hale, on Wednesday 25^th November, 9.30 to 11.30. 

ParentPreneur Networking are currently looking for nominations for their “Mini” awards in December.
