TechRound has published an article on the rise of mumpreneurs in UK and Europe and us at SilverGuard made the list!
Read about here and below:
Back in 2015, The Telegraph reported that businesses run by mothers with children 18 or under generated £7.2bn for the UK economy…and this number is only going up. In fact, it is estimated that by 2025, this economy is expected to grow to £9.5bn – a significant boost for UK entrepreneurship.
But this rise isn’t just about women in business, it’s about women who are re-defining what a work/life balance looks like, especially when it comes to families.
Here, we spotlight some inspiring “mumpreneurs” across the UK and Europe who are making an impact both at home and in the boardroom.

Stephanie Dunn-Moorhouse, Founder at SilverGuard
During lockdown while juggling home schooling, self-isolation, and everything else in between, Tahira, Lynn, and Stephanie, three mums from East London, came together to establish SilverGuard. As a pioneering antimicrobial textiles business, we develop innovative products to help people stay safe at home.
The idea of launching the company had been floating around the school gates for a while, but the pandemic provided the opportunity. With backgrounds in healthcare, textiles, and sustainability, and over 8 years of being on the PTA together, we knew the partnership would work.
Recognising the growing consumer awareness of health, hygiene, and sustainability, we developed a range of bed linens that introduced IONIC+ technology into people’s homes. In 2022, we launched an organic cotton towel collection, followed by SilverSense baby and children’s clothing.
We’ve prioritised skin kindness in all our products and were elated to receive dermatological accreditation from the Skin Health Alliance, making us the only textile brand to achieve this recognition. Additionally, we have been awarded multiple industry and consumer awards across our product collections including a coveted Mother & Baby and LuxLife awards.
