A bit about Country Business Mums:

Being a mum in business has a lot of unique challenges whether you own your own business, have a partnership, a hobby business at home or if you’re the woman behind your husband’s success.

Country Business Mums provide a fantastic opportunity to meet other mums in business, share stories and experiences, get advice, promote your business and build a support network.

If you are working for somebody else or not a mum but feel the stress of ‘doing it all’ and want to get some advice and learn some life skills then come along and have some fun!

Country Business Mums’ Lunch a success

NAR Design Country Business Mums Lunch 17th FebruaryNAR Design’s Country Business Mums’ Lunch on the 17th of February in Clare was a huge success.  Originally we aimed for 20 women but had almost 40 attend so it was a fantastic turnout.

This event was aimed at mums who are in business, wanting to get into business or even working mums.  The event provided a way of networking, promoting business, forming new friendships and sharing stories and experiences to help each other achieve and know we are not alone in our struggle to raise a family and a business at the same time.  It was also a lot of fun!

Some of the attendees had children who have grown up and left home and they provided the rest of us with extremely valuable advice as they have been through it all.Continue reading
