A new committee has been formed by Mums At Work founder Sinead Norton to protect the future of the organisation.
Mums At Work CIC and Elevate Your Business were both the brainchild of my late mum Sinead Norton.
Over the last number of years she tirelessly worked towards creating a network and series of events to help support and nurture women in all types of roles and businesses across the country. She wanted to bring all businesswomen and entrepreneurs together, to network, make connections, referrals and provide support – which you will get to do today.
Sadly my mum passed away last November following a battle with pancreatic cancer, speaking about the network in recent years she said: “I’m a mum of seven and when I owned a large thriving and multi award winning wedding business, I quickly realised that survival is dependent on past brides and other suppliers referring you.
“I wanted to create a space where businesswomen working on their own could come together to stay motivated and work towards their dreams as I know how lonely it is when you start out and how hard it can be to achieve a good work-life balance.”
Before she passed, my mum wanted the Mums At Work Network to continue supporting women across the country and put in place robust plans to ensure the network continued to thrive in 2024 and beyond.
Once she found out about her diagnosis, she knew she had to take a step back and allow others in the network to help run the organisation, such as her ambassadors who were a great help during this time and continue to be.
She set up the organisation to be able to run itself, alongside her daughters and a committee of her choosing.
I hope over the coming year to get the opportunity to meet as many members as possible out and about at our events.
