CALSTOCK mum and entrepreneur Jodine Boothby has earned herself 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.

Jodine, currently six months pregnant with baby number two, runs Gummee Glove, a website retailing her own invention, a teething mitten for babies.

Jodine has been shortlisted for the Best Mumpreneur Product, which is on the lookout for a quality, desirable and unique product created by a mum. Having launched Gummee Glove Ltd in May, Jodine hopes she has what it takes to walk away with the prize.

As well as being shortlisted for this category, Jodine is also in with a chance of winning the title of The Inspirational Business Mum 2012, sponsored by Viking, which will be awarded to the mum who is an inspiration to all women in business, and could walk away with a fantastic prize package.

Jodine said: 'I am delighted to have been recognised for my achievements in creating a unique product, and I'm really excited to find out if I've won an award!'

Judging Jodine's entry will be a panel of top entrepreneurs, including Glamour magazine editor-in-chief Jo Elvin, but she will have to wait until September 30, when the winners will be announced at The Mumpreneur Conference, sponsored by SageOne, being held at the Heart of England Conference Centre in Warwickshire.
