A mum who provides mobile creches for conferences and other events is franchising her business to answer soaring demand from professional parents.
Mother-of-3 Julie Williams saw her Mobile Creche Company boom after new regulations led her local conference centre, Llandudno’s Venue Cymru, to close its creche.
Delegates from across Britain attend events there and many bring their children because they have no alternative childcare or want some family time in the resort.
The Mobile Creche Company enables people at events, most recently the Labour Party’s Welsh conference, to leave their children on site with qualified childminders.
Permanent creches closed at other venues across Britain because of the same new regulations, and Ms Williams, 38, soon found it a struggle to keep up with demand. Now her company has become the first in the UK to offer mobile creches as a franchise opportunity, along the lines of McDonald’s, Specsavers and Prontaprint.
She expects to sign her first franchisee, in Manchester, after 3 months of negotiations and checks to ensure the company’s standards and reputation will be maintained.
