Why Norwich and Norfolk

Norwich is one of the most self-contained cities in England, sitting in relative isolation from other major centres. That isolation is its advantage. The city has a population exceeding 210,000, with the wider territory adding further depth. Norwich's Golden Triangle is the premium family area, where Victorian terraces, independent shops, and a strong community feel attract engaged, quality-conscious parents.

The family culture in Norwich is creative, independent, and deeply community-minded. The city has been recognised as a UNESCO City of Literature, and that creative spirit extends into its parenting culture. Parents here actively seek out meaningful, handcrafted products and champion local businesses. The Golden Triangle and surrounding areas have particularly vibrant baby class and community group scenes.

NCT runs active groups across Norwich, and independent baby classes operate from venues throughout the city and surrounding areas. The compact city geography keeps everything accessible, and the strong community infrastructure provides a full calendar of sessions.

Norwich's self-contained market means a Memory Catcher here owns the territory in a way that's harder to achieve in more connected regions. The creative culture, engaged parents, and premium Golden Triangle pocket create a territory with character and quality.

Norwich's parenting community is creative, engaged, and fiercely independent. The city's self-contained character creates strong community bonds and natural loyalty to local businesses.

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 Norwich and Norfolk 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. Norwich and Norfolk's population and community culture mean there's genuine room to grow beyond even these numbers if you want to.

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 Norwich and Norfolk 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.
