TWO mums from Oswestry and Wrexham have launched a new business after creating the idea while on maternity leave together. 

Gemma Brett, from Oswestry, and Laura Peill of Wrexham, first met through their jobs in the NHS. 

The pair then became very close after being on maternity leave at the same time, on two separate occasions. During that time, the mums of two created the idea of a coffee business to support mothers. 

Now Tired Mums Coffee has been launched across Wrexham and Shropshire.

A website has been launched, the product is being sold across both counties and the pair have a host of plans to help support mums.

Laura said: "We’ve both developed a deep love of coffee, especially since becoming increasingly sleep-deprived in recent years, which led us to explore how coffee could be used to make positive change.

"Our vision is to leave a legacy for future Mums by improving their experiences of motherhood and encouraging knowledge sharing across generations.

"Our NHS day jobs keep us busy but we've managed to launch the business through long evening and weekend hours and have had really positive feedback. We're very grateful to Business Wales, Shropshire's Good2Great and Hwb Menter Wrecsam for their out of hours training sessions, networking support and ongoing advice.

"We feel really privileged to be able to play our part in supporting Mums and enhancing the motherhood experience. We have a duty to help other Mums if we can, this gig is a tough one for all of us."
