The mumandworking awards were launched in 2010 to reward and celebrate the champions of family-friendly working and flexible working sucess!
"Thank you for your interest in our company and our 2011 awards! This is an amazing opportunity to reward and recognise the many individuals and companies that are proving that flexible, family-friendly businesses are going from strength to strength. I hope that you will join us to be part of it!" - Sam Willoughby, founder of What's On 4 Ltd, flexible employer and Mum.
On this page there is information about us including the background to the company, our websites and our award schemes to date, the plans for the 2011 awards themselves and the sponsorship opportunities.
Please contact us if you require any further information and we hope to work with you on this very exciting project.
Established in 2006, What's On 4 Ltd was founded by Sam Willoughby with the launch of www.whatson4littleones.co.uk, followed by www.whatson4schoolkids.co.uk and www.whatson4kidsparties.co.uk in 2008.
All 3 websites provide parents with a unique source of local information and supporting advice and ideas.
Sam was named Practical Parenting magazine's Business Parent of the Year in 2007 and the business and websites also boast several other awards.
www.mumandworking.co.uk is an established website we purchased in July 2009. mumandworking provides advice and information to working mums and business mums with details of opportunities with flexible family-friendly companies.

Our websites attract over 60,000 visitors from across the UK every month and over 30,000 parents subscribe to the newsletters.
The business and websites are featured regularly in national publications and local and regional media.
Much of this success is down the award schemes run by the websites to recognise the best activities for children across the UK.
WO4 has run the Junior Awards for 5 years - celebrating and recognizing the very best activities, classes, party providers and volunteers from throughout the UK - those wwho make a real difference to parents and their children's lives.
2011 saw the biggest and most successful campaign to date with 18 awards and over 32,000 votes! Prima Baby and Pregnancy magazine and Hilton hotels supported the awards alongside Headline Sponsor Konfidence.
