Harrogate mum who founded Mumbler celebrates website's 10th birthday
Harrogate mum Sally Haslewood started Mumbler as a hobby during maternity leave now 10 years ago. It now has 19 franchises in England and further growth is expected.
The group's founder Sally Haslewood celebrates the birthday with family and friends.
A Harrogate mum who created parenting website Mumbler from her kitchen table 10 years ago has celebrated the milestone with a party.
Sally Haslewood started the project as a Facebook group in 2011. Since then she has developed 19 franchises all over England and has hinted at expanding her reach even further.
The idea behind Mumbler is to become a local hub for family information.
Last year, more than 2.4 million people visited Mumbler’s combined websites and together the Mumbler franchises have more than 177,000 social media followers.

Current and recent brands to have advertised with Mumbler include holiday giant Tui, National Trust, Worcester Bosch, Nosy Crow books and Joe Browns.
Ms Haslewood said:
“This year, Mumbler is 10 years old. I’m proud to say the model I created as a hobby during maternity leave in 2011 has been such a success, and there are now 19 Mumbler franchises.
"I’m eyeing growth again, this time with the north west and Oxford on my horizon.”
