Baking up a mum-friendly business

On this episode of the AJ Bell Money Matters podcast, Danni and Laura chat to two mums who launched a biscuit bakery that allowed them to work around their children’s lives. Saskia Roskam and Lisa Shepherd started “The Biskery” during the pandemic with the aim of creating a business that worked around school hours for them and their employees.

Plus, as a new government gets its feet under the table, we dig into what a Labour landslide might mean for your finances and the workplace with plans for menopause policies and enhanced gender pay reporting. The Biskery have also given all AJ Bell Money Matters podcast listeners an exclusive 20% discount sitewide, so head to their website and used the code "MoneyMatters20" to stock up on their sweet treats or send a gift to someone special.
