Mum and Working Awards Lots for Tots placed 5th in Franchisor of the Year category at London awards After reaching the final 8 out of hundreds of entries and thousands of public votes, Lots for Tots Franchisor Nadine came in 5th place for Franchisor of the Year. The awards programme celebrates the champions of flexible working – showcasing those businesses, associations and individuals (mums and dads!) who are demonstrating how a fulfilling career can be balanced with modern-day family life. The awards, held in the business hub of London on 22nd September, were judged by both public vote & panel including Annabel Karmel MBE and Caprice
Bourret (above). The event was attended by over 200 inspiring, like minded business women; and a few Dads too! Nadine said “I’m so proud to be a finalist. We are a small franchise, full of passion for what we do. I think that showed in the public voting stages and is what ultimately got us to the final alongside some really big national franchises”. Congratulations to the winner of the category, Baby Sensory! To find out more about franchising email franchise@lotsfortots.co.uk or call Nadine on 08456 436 831
