| Exciting Times at Teddy & Me 2009 |
St Tropez Founder Backs
Mumprenuer Finalist
 Warwickshire business mum, Sharon Ward, 37, had just two minutes to impress the judges with her premature and tiny baby clothes as part of ITV’s This Morning Mumpreneur competition; little did she know how those few minutes would change her life?
Celebrity judge, Judy Naake, who is credited with bringing the St Tropez self-tan brand to the UK, was so taken with the quality and uniqueness of her clothing she decided to invest in Teddy & Me and has joined Sharon as a Director for the company.
Judy commented: “I was overwhelmed by the style and quality of the Teddy & Me clothing range, the likes of which I would normally associate with clothing from high end baby boutiques.”
Developed with help and advice from neonatal specialists and mums of special care babies, Teddy & Me clothes differ from the norm because they actually fit. They are also designed to accommodate any drips, leads or monitors babies may have, making them practical and comfortable.
Sharon made it to the finals of Mumpreneur in October last year, after beating thousands of entries in the competition. She said: "Investments of this type are only usually seen on programmes like Dragon's Den so as you can imagine we are very excited." "Following my appearance on This Morning we were inundated with requests for details about our clothes, from as far away as Dubai. Judy's investment will allow us to take advantage of the many opportunities that have come our way."
Whilst continuing to design and manufacture premature baby clothes, in response to requests from customers, Teddy & Me are expanding their range to offer clothing to all babies, up to six months in age from September.
Teddy & Me clothes are available to purchase online at www.teddyandme.co.uk and will soon be available in most high street baby boutiques.
