Mums the Word for North East Businesses

North East digital marketing firm The Office Rocks has been a source of advice and comfort to couples trying to conceive, expectant parents and new parents for over a year under the guise of Bump, Baby & You.

The website which launched early in 2016, is supported by social media channels, including a Facebook page which now has over 270,000 likers and a forum of over 54,000 members, reaching people across the UK and beyond.

For local Mum and Director of The Office Rocks, Laura Middleton, Bump, Baby & You has become a significant area of her business and of her life; “It’s been amazing seeing thousands of people use Bump, Baby & You as a place to turn for support, to ask for advice and to share their happiest, and sometimes saddest, moments on their parenthood journeys.

“For some time now members have been asking us to organise local meets ups where they can get to know other local parents in a safe and secure environment and so we’re thrilled to begin the next stage in the Bump, Baby & You journey – our local Cuppa, Cake & Chat events.”

The events, which are initially being piloted in Newcastle, Chester & Leeds, are planned to be rolled out across the country later this year.

Parents are invited to come along for free, to enjoy a cuppa, cake and a chat, where Bump, Baby & You hosts will be on hand to ensure everyone has a great time.

They’ll be joined by another North East success story, ARTventurers who run learning through art and creative play sessions via a network of mums nationwide. Business owner Fiona Simpson said; “This is such a wonderful idea and we’re really looking forward to bringing some colourful fun to these events.”

Bump, Baby & You works with some of the leading baby & toddler brands in the UK and some of these businesses were keen to show their support too. Each attendee will receive a fabulous goody bag full of surprises, including a luxurious Mama Mio sample of one of their best selling clean and safe skincare product and a special gift pack from Boldon based international baby brand Nûby.
