A Huddersfield PR agency has been appointed by a new organisation providing part-time career opportunities for mothers in Yorkshire.
The agreement sees Scriba PR support the launch of Mothers Mean Business (MMB) before raising awareness of the brand throughout the region.
MMB brings together the information, career advice and support a working mother needs for her career and business life, alongside an online jobs board showcasing flexible and part-time employment opportunities.
The brainchild of Abbie Coleman, an experienced recruitment consultant from Leeds, MMB has already attracted support from some big names in business, sport and television, to name just a few.
Leeds actress Angela Griffin, GB para-cycling athlete Caroline Wareing and The Apprentice star Claire Young have already taken part in MMB’s quick fire interview, as has nursery owner and hard-working mum Helen Gration, wife of BBC Look North presenter Harry.
Advice-led blogs have also flooded in from regional professionals including Leeds-based Consilia Legal, equality law specialist Ceri Widdett, and Catherine Baker, founder of Sport and Beyond, who is currently working with the Yorkshire Rows team of four working mothers.
Scriba PR, based at Heritage Mills in Lindley, was founded in 2013 by businesswoman Katie Mallinson.
The agency has recently appointed part-time mum of two Louise Jaggar as a PR assistant.
Said Katie: “As the owner of a growing business I recognise myself how important it is to offer flexible employment options, in order to attract the right talent.
“I hope more organisations, large and small, will be encouraged to think about the opportunities that part-time roles bring for their businesses, and the wider economy.
There are so many experienced, skilful mothers and fathers out there, who could offer something really valuable to the commercial environment, alongside being a fantastic parent.”
