Working parents and budding entrepreneurs
from Brighton and across Sussex will have a unique opportunity to get tailored
business advice from a range of specialists at the Officrèche business day on
16 August.
Sussex’s unique nursery with office space
for working parents is collaborating with local social media agency,
SocialSparkle, to offer entrepreneurs and SMEs a chance to quiz experts about a
range of business services and network with their peers at the free event.
The business day will be held at
Officrèche from 9am to 1pm. It will feature experts from the worlds of
accountancy, graphic design, public relations, law and others, who will be on
hand to offer free advice and guidance to attendees.
Liz Moody-Stuart, founder of Officrèche
said: “Working from home around young children can be tricky and getting out to
networking events even more so. Here at Officrèche, we like to help people make
that step from working at the kitchen table to becoming more involved in the
world of business. During our business day, we hope to give even more people
the opportunity to concentrate fully on their business and overcome any hurdles
currently preventing them achieving success”.
Officrèche is the brainchild of Brighton resident
Elizabeth Moody-Stuart, who came up with the concept to meet her own childcare
needs. It offers flexible, pay-as-you go office space with on-site childcare.
Liz, who has a two year old daughter and a seven month old son, struggled to
find childcare that suited her needs, so she decided to createsomething for
working parents.
Liz continued: “Parents often decide
to branch out in a different work direction after the birth of a child. If they
go freelance or start a business, there are so many services that are vital for
success. We’ve gathered about 10 service providers, including
- an accountant (www.bainbridgelewis.co.uk)
- a life coach (www.lisawestbury.com)
- a graphic designer (www.fdm-design.co.uk)
- an app designer (www.fatpebble.com)
- social media experts (www.socialsparkle.co.uk)
- an IP lawyer (www.rawlisonbutler.com)
- a PR/copywriting guru (www.catherineross-communications.co.uk)
- a telephony/IT back up wizard (www.sussexbackup.co.uk)
- and someone to make your soles happy! (www.reflexologyinbrighton.com)
“The
office floors of Officrèche will have the above experts sitting at tables,
coffee mug at elbow, ready to answer questions. “
