Denise Tyler
Denise Tyler founded online magazine mother@work in 2003 to
offer working mothers practical advice on managing their work, family
and personal lives.
2006 saw the publication of Denise’s book, ‘Working
Mothers: The Essential Guide’ offering a practical
handbook to existing or aspirational working mums.
2004 saw the launch of the annual mother@work Awards which recognise
forward thinking employers and the working mums they employ as well as
exceptional individuals and Mumpreneurs (mums who successfully run
their own businesses). The Awards now have the backing of organisations
such as the CBI and the EOC and the continued support from year one of
Sarah Brown, wife of Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
As a working mother herself Denise started the webzine having found a
lack of information and support when she returned to work following the
birth of her daughter Freya. For many years she has written for
national papers and magazines and continues to work as a freelance
sports PR consultant, having set up her own company in 1999. She has
acted as press officer for a number of high profile events including
the Olympic Games, the Commonwealth Games and the London Marathon.
Denise lives with husband Stephen and three year old Freya in Brighton. She has a BA Hons in Media and English Literature from Leeds and an MA
in Text and Performance studies from King’s College London
and RADA.
