This year The Gro Company is nominated for a prestigious Tommy’s Let’s Get Baby Friendly Award 2010 and needs parents’ support!
Tommy’s Let’s Get Baby Friendly Awards has been running for 15 years and aims to celebrate, thank and encourage organisations that go that extra mile to make life easier for mums and dads across the UK. Tommy’s understands that life with a little one can be stressful at times and that’s why they are giving you the opportunity to vote for the organisations that you believe make life as a parent that little bit more relaxing.
The category that Grobag Baby Sleep Bags have been nominated for is Best Nursery Brand.
Rob Holmes from The Gro Company, commented:
“We are extremely proud that our Grobag Baby Sleep Bag has been nominated in the Tommy Let’s Get Baby Friendly Awards 2010 for the ‘Best Nursery Brand’. Our company ethos is to invent products which help make parenting easier, that’s why we invented the Grobag brand back in 2000 when very few UK parents used a baby sleep bag. Now over 90% use a baby sleep bag, and we are delighted to say that we have changed the way UK parents put their babies to bed. Winning the Tommy award would be a great honour for us here at The Gro Company. So please don’t forget to vote by visiting our website, http://www.bumpto3.com/gro/gro_grobags or www.tommys.org/awards.”
Tommy’s Chief Executive, Jane Brewin says: “During pregnancy and in parenthood, the support you are offered really can make all the difference. The Tommy’s Lets Get Baby Friendly Awards exist to celebrate the often selfless support given by friends, families and health professionals when expectant parents need it the most and also the companies that parents believe should be praised for the lengths they go to be baby friendly. We want to say a big thank you on your behalf to those who have made a difference to you so if you think an individual or company deserves to be recognised get voting online!”
THE VOTING PERIOD FOR ALL CATEGORIES STARTS 11 JANUARY AND ENDS 22 FEBRUARY 2010. So don’t delay vote today!
