Returnships - short-term fixed contracts that help get women back into work after a career break - are vital for UK businesses. Here’s why

Helping women back to work

Launching MMB Magazine in 2016, I had over 20  years in recruitment, 10 of whom ran my own recruitment business. I founded MMB having had so many conversations with mothers who ultimately had had the choice taken away on their career growth simply due to having children.

I am passionate about ensuring all working parents and families have access to the best advice to help them navigate all aspects of life as working parents to achieve everything they want at home and work. We need to see both parents as equals at home and work, and until we do that, the gender pay gap, gender bias, and so much more won’t change. Women and men will continue to be pigeonholed into roles they don’t want to take and hold back from achieving what they, as individuals, professionals, partners, and parents, desire to succeed.
