Mum2mum market founder Cath Harrop appeared in front of the Dragons to ask for investment to improve her company’s website in order to cope with the rapid growth the company has seen in the last four years.

Eva Serrano, who runs the Crawley Mum2mum market, said: “As a really small local business getting national exposure on prime time television is amazing and enquiries and stall bookings have gone berserk since the show aired. I really hope this publicity will introduce more mums to the joys of buying and selling second hand at their local mum2mum market and the huge savings which can be made.”

The next one is at Broadfield Community Centre on Saturday March 5. Stalls must be booked in advance at www.mum2mummarket.co.uk. Admission is £2 for buyers.
