MUM’S STAY-AT-HOME BUSINESS ALL THE FASHION

- KRISTY MUIR

A KINGSCLIFF mother of two is turning kids fashion into a bright homebased career.

Kristy Rigby has juggled an import distributi­on business for seven years while raising her two daughters and the dedication has seen her nominated for two awards through sunglasses brand Babiators Australia.

She has been named a finalist in the AusMumpren­eur Awards for customer service and retail business.

“I started my journey as a work from home mum when my oldest child was born in 2010,” Mrs Rigby said. “Working around kids, building a business in nap times and snatched moments has been a hell of a ride.”

The stay-at-home mum said the business had become so successful that in November her husband John left his full-time job as a youth service manager to join her.

The national awards will be held at Sydney’s Doltone House on August 25.
