Why it made our list
After the birth of her first child in 2005, Juliet was keen to introduce other languages at an early age, but was disappointed by what was available on the market. In response, she devised her own range of music CDs which introduce infants to second languages through music. Now stocked by national retailers including John Lewis, Amazon and more than 20 independent retailers, over 10,000 Babyboomboom’s multi-lingual CDs have been sold in two years. The company is going from strength to strength, and to keep up with demand, is now recording CDs in Welsh, Japanese, Dutch and Chinese Mandarin.
How do our winners measure up? Gender - Women 32%, Men 68%. There are 4% more women-led businesses on the list since 2008.
