uflourish objectivesIf you have a passion, product or service that you want to share with expectant couples, new families or families that include pre-schoolers, then talk to us and we’ll do the introductions……

We are Naomi & Aurelie the organisers and promoters of uflourish events. We aim to connect businesses with their core demographic of pregnant

couples and families with children aged 0 to 5 – who are most likely to live within a 15 mile radius of the event location. These families will include

mothers and fathers and also many grandparents.

We both have had successful career histories working for big corporations and have many skills in marketing, sales, business management & event organisation prior to motherhood.

Since becoming parents we have both run successful small businesses in the “family” industry and have been inspired to organise regular Pregnancy & Family events to help other growing businesses in Sussex to flourish by expanding their customer base.

We are both passionate about providing events that deliver a high footfall of pregnant couples, new families & local parents of pre-schoolers. We are also focused on helping our exhibitors get a return on their investment in working with us to create a community of knowledgeable local experts.

Our approach at our fairs is unique with the offering of an abundance of onsite workshops and classes for visitors during the fair. This attracts the type of parent looking to invest in themselves and their children.
