Women Who Launch: Molly Aldridge of The JJ Club
Molly says being an entrepreneur was always in the cards for her, starting from when she and her sister would peddle everything from drawings to painted pebbles to supportive family members. This evolved into starting her first communications business within the IPG Group in her late 20s and a second business within M&C Saatchi soon followed whilst she was in her 30s. “I so enjoyed the journey of building out the right teams around the world, growing out an enviable client list, and creating meaningful campaigns that made a mark,” she shares, saying that she has always valued “will over skill” when it comes to making hiring decisions. After starting a family, it became evident to Molly that there was a gap in the market, and a new business idea came to fruition: “I felt there weren’t enough local spaces and places that could really help support the modern juggle of work and family life. I was a member of so many different clubs catering for all my family’s needs and craved a space on my local doorstep that offered spaces and activities for the whole family to work, rest, and play—both independently and together as a family unit.” Molly founded The JJ Club in late 2020 and describes it as being ‘her most personal venture yet’, with the pandemic highlighting a need for more opportunities to build connections. In this Women Who Launch interview, Molly will discuss how she's built The JJ Club's community through strategic brand partnerships, a curated events calendar, exclusive luxury perks, and a coveted little black book of contacts.
