Tatty Bumpkin Ltd Successful Franchises Kate Gaitt

Kate Gaitt has been a Tatty Bumpkin Franchisee, running yoga-inspired classes for little ones in the Richmond area since January 2009. This is her story in her own words.

In 2007, my husband and I returned to London with our one year old son Dylan after living in The Netherlands for several years. We loved the Dutch way of life and their holistic approach to health and wellbeing, especially in pregnancy and parenthood. Whilst in Amsterdam I had discovered a love of yoga through a wonderful teacher. I enjoyed practicing yoga throughout my pregnancy and also took Dylan along to baby yoga with me from just 4 weeks old. I loved the bond this gave us, whilst keeping fit.

When we returned to the UK I was really keen to continue yoga with Dylan but found that I couldn’t find anything done in a fun, lighthearted way. In the summer of 2008, whilst at the Innocent Village Fete, Dylan said “look mummy yoga” and we joined in a Tatty Bumpkin class led by founder Sam Petter. We loved the class and enjoyed chatting to Sam about Tatty Bumpkin being an ethical business and how they were starting to franchise. I went home buzzing with ideas and by the next day I had decided that running a Tatty Bumpkin franchise was my ideal job.

Before having children I had worked as a marketing manager, but once I had been inspired by motherhood I knew I wanted to be able to put my children first whilst finding a job I could make into a real success. I now have two sons, Dylan aged 5 years and Toby aged 3. They are Tatty’s biggest fans, which means that my work is now also their play! All the skills from my previous career have been essential in being able to run my franchise business effectively.

I have owned my franchise for 3 years now and I believe I have built a very successful business. I am proud to stay that I have been Franchisee of the Month 5 times this year for achieving the highest franchise sales across the company! I now have contracts in a number of council run Children’s Centres and also in chains of private nurseries.

I feel rewarded by the owning and running a business that is not only making a profit, but also allows me to make a difference to little ones across Richmond!
