About Us

My name is Theo Lewis. I am a mother of two and live in North London.

Whilst on maternity leave with my second child, I did not want to go back to work in the office and asked if I could work from home but my employers were not able to offer me the option, even though my job did not require me to be in the office. I resigned. I was disappointed and afraid at the prospect of losing an income just after having a second child! I realised then that I would find it very difficult to find a job that would allow me to work flexible hours so I could spend more time with the children. A dear friend of mine, who is a mother of two herself, and has survived by working from home, told me that the only way I would find a job that would let me work the hours I wanted was by working for myself. She was right. I made a decision then not to return to work but to work for myself….from home!

Although I had decided to start a small home-based business, I did not know what the business would be! I did, however, know what I wanted to do. I wanted:-

to promote whatever the business, to people like myself; mothers at home.
to offer a professional service from home without children screaming in the background.
to be asked for my services, not solicit for business.
to support other women with their businesses, especially home-based ones.
to inspire other women to pursue their business ideas.
to learn how to use the computer more and to encourage other women to do the same.
to be able to promote my business without giving out my home address or telephone number, if I chose to.
to find products and services I wanted being offered by other women.
to find products and services on a simple online listing; I did not want to go to a flashy website with so much going on, that I lost track of what I wanted.
to speak with a ‘person’ rather than leave a message on an answering machine; some have so many options to choose from I lose track of which option I want to select!
the people who asked and received my services to not only come back for more but also tell others about it!
to feel part of a community rather than just another business.
to do business a different way, a better way, by invitation.

Then it struck me that everything I wanted was the ethos of a business!

I set up kallmeback, which fulfils all I want in a business and more! It is not just an online listing of businesses, it compliments all I have done in the last 20 years; I have worked in Sales and Marketing especially customer service and I enjoyed it!

Kallmeback is not just another directory, it is a community of mainly women who enjoy what they do, value what they do, value the business relationships they make, value the lasting friendships that most make and look forward to meeting new contacts whom they welcome open heartedly into this unique community. There is nothing like it!

I am delighted and honored to be able to promote such businesses on kallmeback. I am initially looking to promote women businesses that are based in North London and the surrounding areas and women businesses that service North London and the surrounding areas. However if your business offers a nationwide service or product, it does not matter where you are based, you are welcome to request an invitation to list your business! Plans are already in place to promote the website in other areas, such as Manchester!

If you want to be part of a community such as I have outlined above, whether you are searching for products and services or looking to promote your business I will look forward to welcoming you to kallmeback!
