Shelina Begum will be joined by Jennie Johnson, Beckie Taylor and Rachel Coxon who will share their journey and give their insights into growing and developing a successful business.

Jennie Johnson founded nursery group Kids Allowed which was later bought by Kids Planet.

She ‘came out of a retirement’ to create a new parenting app – My First Five Years – which she launched with friend Alistair Bryce-Clegg a year ago.

The app aims to help busy parents with expert advice to guide their child(ren) through their first five years.

Jennie, who was awarded an MBE in 2016 for services to apprenticeships, is passionate about values driven companies and ‘high performing, happy teams.’

Beckie is also co-founder of WIT North and has been Voted one of the Top 30 Women in Tech for Greater Manchester 2018 and was named one of Computer Weekly’s Most Influential Women in Tech 2019.
