BUSINESS MUMS OF ESSEX (BME)
Empowering Mums in Business with Child-Friendly Networking, Essential Resources, and a Supportive Online Community.
What is BME?
Founded by Amy, a first-time mum and owner of Spade Marketing, and Frankie, a mum of two and owner of The Organised Desk, BME was born out of the realisation that balancing motherhood and running a business can be a struggle—especially with the constant barrier of childcare when trying to attend traditional networking events.
As mums who started their businesses during maternity leave, Amy and Frankie wanted to create a space where others could connect and grow without the pressure of leaving their kids behind.
At BME, we’ve built a child-friendly environment where mums at any stage of their business journey or motherhood can show up as they are—whether that's with little ones in tow or not. Our supportive community, practical resources, and relaxed meet-ups make it easier to grow your business while continuing to manage life’s demands.
Bringing your kids along isn’t mandatory, but we believe in creating a supportive space where mums can connect, share experiences, and thrive—whether you're just starting out or already scaling your business. It's all about mums supporting mums through every phase of life and business.
Join us as we build businesses, friendships, and futures—together.
