Local mums, entrepreneurs, partners and sisters Helen and Dina Aletra, have earned themselves a place in the final line-up of The Mumpreneur Awards, an annual ceremony aimed at celebrating parents throughout the UK who manage the difficult task of juggling business with family life.
Both mums with toddlers from London, run and own a social media business called Target Social Media. The organisation was launched after discovering a need for online social media support working with SME’s assisting and promoting their social media platforms.
Dina and Helen have been shortlisted for the ‘Best Start Up Award’, sponsored by Yell, open to businesses launched since April 2011 and will be given to the finalist who has managed to create the biggest impact in the shortest space of time. Having worked with many companies and launching TSM early 2012, the business has grown in size and supports many local businesses; they hope they have what it takes to walk away with the prize.
