Raring2go! 4 raring2go.co.uk Have you ever dreamed of running your own business, making your own decisions and taking control of your working life to fit around your family? After 16 amazing years, I am now looking for a new owner to take over the Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire edition of Raring2go! magazine; a thriving and well-respected local business. During my years as Editor, I’ve enjoyed discovering new places to visit with my family, reviewing shows at the theatres, and trying out new activities with my daughter. By working for myself, I have been lucky enough to be there for the daily school run, attend sports days and nativities and take time off during the school holidays. As my daughter is now older (she was only 18 months when I published the first issue in August 2007!) I feel it’s now time to hang up my editor’s hat, put down my pen (well laptop maybe!) and start a new chapter. I would love for another local, passionate parent to enjoy the same experiences I have. However, it is important to me to find the right person to take care of my second ‘baby’, so I will continue to publish Raring2go! until I find that special person to take it forward. While Raring2go! is a business where you work for yourself, you are part of a supportive franchise network where there is Could you be the next Editor of Raring2go! Aberdeen & Aberdeenshire?
