Starting up

Tell us a bit about your business

The Egg Education Ltd was established just two months ago with the aim to provide support for families, schools and children with all their needs relating to education.

The company is developing into an accessible knowledge hub, working with the council and other local organisations and social enterprises to bridge the gap between education, families and employment. We will provide a range of courses that benefit the local community, such as English as a Foreign Language courses for all ages, workshops, seminars and talks on topics such as Special Education Needs, alternative provision schools, parenting support groups and more practical educational support solutions such as after school clubs and targeted tuition, just to list a few.

What gives your business ‘the x-factor’?

My absolute passion to get education right for ALL! I put children and families first.

Inclusivity, accessibility and connectivity motivates everything that I do.

I want to inspire and guide the generation of the future to embrace a happy educational journey, knowing it will benefit them and their communities in establishing a successful and connected existence for themselves.

What motivated you to set up in business?

The urgency to reform education and bring it into the 21st century. Education must keep up with the demands of the fast-changing world around us.

What do you like most about working for a start-up?

I feel very lucky as I am extremely passionate about my goals, which means I am never tired or bored of what I do. The opportunity to let my creativity guide the journey that the company is embarking on is very exciting and I never wake up not wanting to “go” to work!

I also enjoy the flexibility of my working hours as this gives me the opportunity to spend a lot more time with my young daughter, which is just priceless!

What has been your greatest business success to date?

The Egg Ltd is very young but I am proud of the fact that the families that chose my services so far all appreciated and commented on my passion for getting education right for the individual and approaching the topic of education from a holistic point of view.

I am also proud of the connections that I already made within the local community in a short period of time and giving the company a strong and unique presence.

What has been your lowest moment?

I am yet to have one!

In terms of business achievements, where do you want to be within the next 5 years?

I see The Egg Education Ltd as a wellrecognised and regarded social enterprise within the local community that both families and schools trust and turn to for reliable and accessible support.

What would be your top tip to someone thinking of starting up their own business?

Take the leap!

19th November - 24th December

We invite you to take a magical walk through our Christmas Wonderland. Your journey will start with a short, animated film to get you into the Christmas spirit. From there you’ll start your adventure. Each room features a different theme to take you through a journey of magic and wonder.

From there you will then get your very own private visit with Father Christmas. You’ll visit him in his own cosy cabin where he will be checking the names twice on the list with the help of his very own elves.
