Mum In Line For National Award

Coulson Macleod’s PR for the Mumpreneur Awards 2010 continues. Yesterday our local paper wrote this article on me…

A mum who built a business up in 18 months has made it through to the finals of a national entrepreneur competition celebrating women in business.

The Mumpreneur Awards recognise businesswomen throughout the UK who juggle a company with family life, and 39-year old Hannah MacLeod of Kettering, has been singled out in the 2010 awards.

She has been shortlisted for the Best Online Business award for her internet art business, with the award going to the finalist who has the most deserving business and most inspirational website.

Ms MacLeod, who runs Coulson Macleod with her partner Mark Coulson, is delighted to be in with a chance.

She said: “I was very pleased to find out I had made it through to the final. I feel proud the company has grown so much since it was established 18 months ago and delighted to be recognised by these awards.”

The busy mum launched the business with no initial investment and has watched it grow – the company’s goods are now stocked in shops around the UK and Norway, is a favourite of Saatchi and Saatchi, and has been featured in numerous magazines including Elle Decoration UK, Easy Living and County & Town House.

Because she has been nominated for an award, she is also in with a chance of winning the title of Inspirational Business Mum 2010, which will be judged with the rest of the awards at the Mumpreneur Conference on September 18 in Warwickshire.

She added: “It is important for mums to know that they can do it – they should be confident in their abilities. Being a mum makes you a multi-tasker – and you can put a load of washing on, send an email and talk on the phone at the same time.”
