A Surbiton mother is organising a networking event in Thames Ditton next month, to coincide with the UK’s first Business Mum Week.

Vicki Knights, 31, who runs Vicki Knights Photography, has organised the event for working mothers at the Cheeky Monkeys Soft Play Centre at the Surbiton Hockey Club in Sugden Road, on Friday, October 9.

As well as giving working mothers the opportunity to network, women attending can also pick up free copies of the latest Business Mum’s Journal, while their children can play at the centre.

Mrs Knights said: “Business Mum Week is a great initiative and I’m happy to do everything I can to unite the business mums of Surrey and south-west London and ensure more local women with children are aware of the family friendly working options out there.

“This is a great way to both highlight the work of our mum-owned businesses and support the growth of more.”

For more information, contact Mrs Knights on 07545 337184 or email photography@vickiknights.co.uk.

Updates of activities taking place throughout the week will appear at businessmumweek.com and mumsclub.co.uk.
