Kitchen Monkey

19 May 2008

Birmingham’s NEC opened its doors this weekend for ‘The Baby Show’; little did its organisers know that double birthday celebrations would unfold at the show itself.
Midlands fine food company ‘kitchenmonkey.co.uk’, kick started the celebrations by blowing out a candle on their birthday cake to celebrate being one year old, followed by midlands company ‘mumsclub.co.uk’ who were also celebrating one year of trading. However the parties really started when, both companies who were sharing a stand at 'the baby show' realised that both company MD’s also shared the same birthday’s too. So champagne flowed as a total of not one but four birthdays were celebrated altogether and both mums Jacqui & Jane rocked the floors of the NEC’s baby show on Saturday 17th May 2008.
Jacqueline Bailey, head of marketing for ‘kitchenmonkey.co.uk, who has been working with ‘mumsclub.co.uk’ since December 2007 to help promote mums in business, said, ‘I couldn’t believe the coincidence‘s we shared. I was delighted when Jane asked me to help on the mumsclub.co.uk stand to promote both mums in businesses and our own respective businesses. It seemed a coincidence when we both realised that we were both celebrating one year of trading, but then when we further realised that Jane Hopkins, mumtreprenuer founder of mumsclub.co.uk and Jake Karia, owner of kitchenmonkey.co.uk actually shared the same birthday too, well that was amazing! We decided then after all of our hard work it was time to really celebrate. It’s marvellous to find another business such as mumsclub.co.uk with such ethics and standards as our own. We are both working to provide a superb service and promote mums in business and make mum’s lives in the UK that little bit easier’.
Jane Hopkins, founder of mumsclub.co.uk agreed ‘I was shocked by the coincidences too, neither of us had realised the shared birthday’s, when I asked Jacqui from kitchenmonkey.co.uk, who is an active member of mumsclub.co.uk, to attend the Baby Show on my stand to help promote mums in business this weekend. The show was a huge success. We both look forward to celebrating many more birthdays, along with many more years of working together and many new mums to mumsclub.co.uk’
