Why Dundee
Dundee has undergone a remarkable transformation, anchored by the V&A Dundee museum and wider waterfront regeneration. The city has a population of around 150,000, with Angus adding a further 115,000 through Arbroath, Montrose, and the surrounding towns. The university feeds a pipeline of young professionals, and the city's revitalised identity is attracting creative families who see Dundee's potential.
Broughty Ferry is the premium pocket of this territory, a charming seaside suburb with independent shops, excellent schools, and an affluent family community. The wider Dundee area brings volume and the energy of a regenerating city. Angus adds traditional Scottish market towns with strong family values and community bonds.
NCT runs groups in Dundee, and independent baby classes operate from venues across the territory. The baby class scene is growing alongside the city's regeneration, with new providers and venues opening regularly. Community centres, church halls, and family hubs provide further opportunities.
Dundee works well as either a full-time or part-time territory. Broughty Ferry's premium families anchor the market, and the city's regeneration is creating a growing customer base. The compact geography and strong community culture make this a manageable, rewarding territory.
The Opportunity
What does a Memory Catcher actually do?
It's simpler than you might think.
You attend baby classes, events, and community groups across your Dundee region. You meet parents, build genuine connections, and capture their babies' tiny handprints and footprints using our specially designed kits. That's your bit done.
Everything else - editing the prints into beautiful artwork, creating proofs, liaising with customers, foil printing using our exclusive Foil Fusion Technology, framing, packaging, and shipping - is handled entirely by us.
You focus on the smiles and the connections. We take care of the rest.
Your role
Attend baby classes and community events
Capture babies' handprints and footprints
Build relationships with local families and class leaders
Grow your presence across your region
Our role
Capture personalisation details through our upload portal
Edit prints into professional, print-ready artwork
Send proofs and manage all customer revisions
Foil print using our exclusive Foil Fusion Technology
Frame, package, and ship directly to customers
Handle all customer service and aftercare
There are no products to store, no orders to fulfil, no customer emails to manage. Your entire focus is on being present in your community and creating those magical moments with families.
What You Could Earn
Real numbers from a real business
These figures are based on our founder Ashley's own verified data - averaging £237 per class visit over three years of attending baby classes, whilst simultaneously running the entire business and raising two boys.
As a Memory Catcher, your only job is the bit Ashley squeezes into her spare hours. You'd have the time and focus to do significantly more.
Part-Time
~10-15 hours per week
Regular sessions around school hours. A genuine income that fits around family life. Your 40% share: £1,650-£2,450 per month / £19,700-£29,500 per year
Full-Time
~15-22 hours per week
Building your presence with multiple sessions and exploring new opportunities - nurseries, private bookings, local events. Your 40% share: £2,450-£3,600 per month / £29,500-£43,400 per year
Scale
~22-30 hours per week
For the ambitious. Going all in with multiple sessions daily, private bookings, events, and partnerships. This is a serious income stream. Your 40% share: £3,600-£4,900 per month / £43,400-£59,000 per year
These hours include everything - travel, setup, the session itself. And "sessions" doesn't just mean baby classes. Creative Memory Catchers build relationships with nurseries, book private home visits, attend craft fairs, and find opportunities we haven't even thought of yet. The more creative you are, the more you can earn.
All of this fits around school hours. Sessions typically run from 9.30am to around 2pm - perfect for drop-off and pick-up. Evenings and weekends are entirely optional.
And unlike most flexible work, this isn't a ceiling. Dundee's population and community culture mean there's genuine room to grow beyond even these numbers if you want to.

What's Included
Everything you need to get started
Your £5k - £10k investment covers everything required to launch and grow your Memory Catcher business in Dundee.
Hands-on training with our founder Ashley, including shadowing at live classes so you can see exactly how it works before you go solo. You'll learn how to capture perfect prints, build rapport with parents and class leaders, and grow your presence across your region.
All the professional equipment and branded materials you need - kits, display materials, business cards, and everything required to represent The Bespoke Foil Company at classes and events.
Exclusive rights to operate as the Memory Catcher across Dundee. No competition from within our own network.
You're not on your own after training. Regular check-ins, marketing support, co-investment opportunities for local advertising, and access to our growing franchisee community. Plus, with Ashley based nearby, Manchester franchisees benefit from direct, in-person support that most regions simply can't offer.
This isn't a concept - it's a tested, data-backed business with three years of real revenue behind it. You're buying into something that already works.
Who We're Looking For
Is this you?
We're not looking for salespeople. We're looking for genuine, warm, community-minded people who love connecting with families.
You might be a brilliant Memory Catcher if you:
Love being around babies and new parents (obviously)
Want flexible work that fits around family life
Are naturally warm and approachable - the kind of person people open up to
Care about doing something meaningful, not just earning a wage
Are self-motivated and comfortable building your own presence locally
Live in or near Dundee and know the community
You don't need:
Sales experience (you're not selling, you're helping families preserve memories)
Business experience (we provide the model, the training, and the support)
Design or creative skills (we handle all the production)
What you do need is heart. The ability to walk into a room full of new parents and make them feel at ease. The kind of warmth that makes someone trust you with their baby's tiny hand for five minutes. That's it.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
