Having reached the finals of The Mumpreneur Awards, Ruthie said “I couldn’t believe it when I read the email saying “Mumpreneur Finalist’! I had to re-read it a few times before it actually sank in! I’m absolutely thrilled to be recognised for all the hard work and sacrifice that being a mumpreneur entails; it took years to create the baby safe formulation of our babybathbombs so this Award means a great deal to me! Am very excited to attend the Awards Ceremony and meet fellow finalists and find out if I have done enough to win! I hope with such an impressive first 6 months trading I should be in with a good chance!”
