A big BritMums Live welcome to our Silver Sponsors!

They don’t just do that little thing of supporting the conference and this community – all the networking, sessions, lounges and fun at the BritMums Live is possible because of their support! We’re pleased to announce our Silver sponsors: Acuvue, Munchkin, AGA, Rangmaster, Lindemans and Parragon Books.     Ever thought about contact lenses for you or your kids?

Do you or your children wear glasses or require vision correction? Have you ever considered contact lenses for yourself or your children? Did you realise there was even a choice? Many parents don’t know that contact lenses are a viable option for their kids and, what’s more, there is no set age limit that a child can start wearing them. Although 8 years of age is suggested as a guideline, wearing contact lenses is often down to the maturity of the individual child*.

ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses is one of the sponsors at this year’s BritMums Live event and will have a comfy stand set up for delegates to put their feet up, sit down and chat to our experts about contact lenses. Top TV psychologist, Emma Kenny, will be at BritMums with ACUVUE® to discuss her personal experience as her son started wearing contact lenses from a young age. She’ll be on hand to discuss self-esteem and the potential positive effects contact lens wear can have on children. Emma says: “There are loads of myths associated with contact lenses, we want to help dispel those and let parents know that they have more options than they might think when it comes to their vision or their children’s.”

To register your interest in booking a 15 minute slot at BritMums Live to speak with Emma about contact lenses and children and become an ACUVUE ambassador drop an email to luke.smart@edelman.com Emma concludes: “Whether you’re interested for your kids or just yourself, come along and have a chat with us.” For more information contact lens wear and ACUVUE visit www.acuvue.co.uk. *College of Optometrists, BCLA abstract 2014

 

The AGA is more than just a cooker – it’s a way of life. Go into any AGA owner’s home and you’ll find them in the kitchen. The kitchen icon has a devoted fan base, including Hollywood actors, politicians, models, celebrity chefs and the Royals. An AGA cooker turns a house into a home and is at the centre of family life for hundreds of thousands of people across the globe.

But why is this? Well, it’s a British-made design icon, it treats food differently –indirect radiant heat means all the flavour, moisture and goodness is locked in – and it’s perfect for life in the 21st century. The vast majority of AGA models sold today run on electricity. They can be on when you want them and off when you don’t, meaning energy is only being used when necessary.

On a chilly winter’s day, then, owners may have the entire cooker on – putting that indefinable AGA warmth into the kitchen – but on a hot day in summer they might only switch on a hotplate to make a quick stir-fry. There really is nothing an AGA cannot do. There are now even AGA cookers that can be turned on and off with an iPhone and every model comes in a number of sizes and a host of colours. So there really is an AGA cooker for everyone, including those with much smaller kitchens.

 

 

Let’s raise a glass and celebrate the arrival of Lindeman’s wine for the first time at BritMums Live, kicking off a very special summer like no other!

With 1000 hours of sunshine in every drop, Lindeman’s wines are made to be opened, shared and enjoyed. They’re the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. Lindeman’s is a perfect match for great moments with friends and family, whether it’s taking the time to appreciate the small things or simply looking on the brighter side of life.

So why not come over to stand 24, sit back and relax in Lindeman’s very own Sunshine Garden; after all, it is the sunshine that makes it! We will be on hand to serve you samples of the award winning wine and offer you an oasis away from the hullabaloo of the show. Lindeman’s is also on the lookout for a selection of bloggers to become official ambassadors this summer, so make sure you sign up and let us know why you would like to get involved! See you there!
