A mum who opened a pram superstore just as Mothercare went into administration is celebrating a multi-million-pound turnover. Little Angels Prams has turned into a big success story for owner Kelly Carter, who used to work in a pub before starting the business.
The company started in its infancy in Ilkeston before taking its first steps in bigger premises in Radford three years ago. Growth has gone from a £100,000-a-year turnover upon launching, to a multi-million-pound business.
The business started out stocking brands such as iCandy and Silver Cross, and has since attracted many more big names, with “the best range of double prams and strollers you can buy”, said Kelly. The company also has a new warehouse in Ilkeston which is 17,000sq ft.
