Tatty Bumpkin is offering a unique dual income ethical franchise with an award winning programme for children and a range of organic clothing and fair trade products.

About Tatty Bumpkin

Launched in 2003, Tatty Bumpkin is a natural lifestyle brand for children 1-7 years. Focusing on a more creative and imaginative world for children and parents, we have a worldwide following and in 2008 won Best National Physical Activity for Children (Organix and What's on for Little Ones Awards).

Our Yoga inspired movement programme is CACHE accredited (Council for Awards in Childcare, health and Education) and is fully aligned with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. It is fully supported with a wide range of teaching materials, weekly lesson plans, accompanying music CDs etc.

We have recently signed a licensing deal with TUI travel and Canvas Holidays to deliver Tatty Bumpkin in overseas Holiday Clubs. In addition,
partnerships we worked with in 2008 include; Innocent Smoothies (part of the buy one, get one tree promotion), Ecover, The Co-operative Bank and First Choice Holidays.

Listed as one of the top 100 ethical companies in the UK (New Consumer
Magazine) we are committed to ethical working practices. All our teaching
materials are made by a fair trade Co-operative in Sri Lanka, and we have
one of the largest ranges of Organic and Bamboo clothing for children age
1-7 years. We make clothes that kid love to move in, our clothes are

‘Clothes to feel good in, clothes to feel good about’....

The Franchise

We successfully ran a teacher training programme for 3 years before we
launched the franchise in March 2008. Since then we have exceeded our
targets and have a wonderfully diverse club of franchisees from all walks of life and experiences.

The Franchise programme offers the opportunity to sell and market the
complete range of products and classes within an exclusive territory,
enabling the franchisee to benefit from two income streams; classes and
organic clothing, with the support of a well respected and positioned ethical brand.

Franchising gives you the opportunity to run your own ethical business to a well-respected and successful formula. The great thing about franchising is that you can build up your business and then sell it at a later date should you find a new direction. So all the time and energy you put into work are not only reaping benefits in the short term but are building up a sustainable business for the future. You will start by teaching classes and running the business, but shortly after you launch you will be working with your own network of teachers and experiencing a diverse and challenging working life.

You don’t need any prior experience to run a Tatty Bumpkin franchise - but
we are looking for people who understand and believe in the product they are selling and who can communicate the Tatty Bumpkin story to new customers.
Ideally you need to have business drive and a sense of fun. It is also
possible to work with a partner.

Availability

Each Franchisee has a predetermined territory, of which there is a finite
number. So once an area has been sold, it would not be possible to run Tatty Bumpkin within that territory. If you are lucky enough to live in an area as yet un-licensed, then there could be a fantastic opportunity for you to have lots of fun running a successful business round your family, as well as making a huge difference to the global environment and your own locality.
