Mums in Business Telford and Shrewsbury already has nearly 200 members attending digital and face-to-face meetings.

And Kellie Green, who set up the Shropshire branch, says the group is making a real impact as more mothers come out of the pandemic looking to turn their business ideas into a reality.

Kellie set up the group after discovering the Mums In Business Association, which was set up in 2017.

That network has grown to 45,000 Facebook group members worldwide after being started by sisters Leona Burton and Estelle Keeber who created an online hub where mothers could access vital information to start and grow their business.

Kellie said: "I came across Mums In Business because I started my own company – Mini First Aid Shropshire – in November 2021, just after lockdown.

"I was looking for groups which could help me grow and Mums in Business kept popping up in research and conversation.
