Meet the team: Jaime When I saw Cath on Dragons Dens I knew that Mum2mum Markets is something that I would love to be a part of. It all sounded so interesting, earning an income while helping sellers off load preloved goods to make money and buyers to purchase great quality items at the fraction of the high street prices. I like how Mum2mum allows a small number of baby related businesses to come along to the markets, I think it’s a great opportunity for small local businesses. I emailed to enquire and quickly heard back, I was so nervous when I spoke to Cath’s husband that my mind went completely blank and I could not remember any of the questions that I had to ask After lots of thinking and discussing with Richard, I decide to go ahead and purchase the franchise for Dundee and Angus. It turns out to the be best decision I could of ever made as it allowed me to leave my full time job working with adults with Additional Needs and be at home more with my family. 'Working with mum2mum has allowed me to earn money, reduce childcare costs and allow me to do the majority of work while the kids are in bed.' So far I have had 4 markets in Dundee and 2 in Arbroath. I have learned so much along the way and strive to improve each market I have. We have a group that allows all the franchisees to talk and they are all so helpful with giving advice and sharing their own up’s and down’s. At the end of 2016 I decided I decided to expand my franchise into Perth to make these fantastic markets available for even more people. Working with mum2mum has allowed me to earn money, reduce childcare costs and allow me to do the majority of work while the kids are in bed. I really do love running these sales and my favourite bit is seeing the buyers leaving all happy with the bargains they have picked up. I usually end up getting lots too.

Leyla invited us to her Barking and Dagenham mum2mum market nearly new sales and gave us a peek behind the scenes at a day in the life of a mum2mum market franchisee. ''There is this moment before each sale which I love. It happens about 10 minutes before the sale is due to start. There is a lull. A moment of tension fills the air. A ripple of excitement spreads through the hall. My sellers are all set up and eagerly clock watching. Their items are all sorted and priced and they stand waiting behind their table. Lots of change at the ready. There is a queue outside the door, a few heads poke around the door to catch a glimpse of the things on sale today. ' I catch the eye of a few sellers and I’m met with a smile, I go outside and say hi to some of the buyers waiting.' I use this time to reflect on the marketing I have done before each sale. The time spent delivering flyers door-to-door, advertising online, giving flyers to schools, nurseries and playgroups. Putting posters up in shops and public areas. There is always that little voice in my head wondering if I’ve done enough. It’s at this point that I take a look around the hall, I catch the eye of a few sellers and I’m met with a smile, I go outside and say hi to some of the buyers waiting. Its time. I tell my buyers to come in, money is given and goody bags are handed out. The hall is filling up now. There is a break in the queue so I use the chance to take a look around. Everyone is smiling, the goody bags are being filled up with shopping, husbands are waiting at the front of the hall with arms full. 'I love seeing people go to their cars to unload their goodies and then come back in for more.' 'My jaw is aching from smiling all afternoon but I love it.' I love seeing people go to their cars to unload their goodies and then come back in for more. Its nearing the end of the sale now - 2 hours go so fast. Things are winding down, sellers are starting to pack up. My jaw is aching from smiling all afternoon but I love it. I love hearing how much money my sellers made, I love hearing how my buyers have been able to save a lot of money, I love seeing regular buyers. I love it all. A lot of hard work goes into organising each sale but I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve even just brought a second franchise! I started off as a sellers and then a buyer at mum2mum markets. At the beginning of 2016 I felt like it was time for a change. I decided to buy a mum2mum franchise and I’ve never looked back.''
