Q
What’s the most difficult
element of running your
business?
As a start-up business owner you have
to wear multiple hats on a daily basis;
some things you like doing more and
you are better at than others but, at
the end of the day, everything needs
to be taken care of. I have found that
nowadays there is affordable software
which can really help with the smooth
running of a business.
Q
What’s the most rewarding
part?
For me, the most rewarding part
is when a mum gets back into the
workforce. When a client calls and
says: “We have decided to take her on
board”, that is the moment I know that
setting up FLEXImums has been the
right decision.
Q
Who has supported you
along the way?
I have had great support from my
husband, family and friends. They
supported me when writing the
business plan and executing it, as
well as today through their ongoing
encouragement and motivation.
Q
What’s the reality of
balancing being a mum and
a business owner?
When setting up FLEXImums I decided
I was going to have flexible working
hours. I have succeeded and make sure
I am home for dinner with my two year-
old around 6pm.
When our daughter was born, we
decided to move to South Lantau to
have greener surroundings to give our
