Lulu Cato-Olude, 36, runs the Bedford franchise of the Mum Club – a group that supports mothers – and works full-time in events, alongside caring for her 18-month-old.
She moved to Bedford from London three years ago and initially “didn’t know anyone”.
“The business world is heavily dominated by men, but in the group about 50% are mums – they’ve found a new work-life balance that works for them,” she said.
“I’m in awe of how many amazing women there are. Their energy is electric.
“It’s bringing women together, it’s just put an amazing spotlight on everyone’s business.
“Now I’m part of a community, not just the ex-Londoner.”
