About this episode

On The Sofa with British Mums - Episode 18 with Founder and CEO of The Entertainer, Donna Benton  

In this week’s podcast, we are joined by Donna Benton, a single mum and founder of The Entertainer, a much-loved discount platform that she created to make raising a family in Dubai all that more enjoyable and affordable. Emma and I share our memories of our first use of The Entertainer and Donna shares her vision, her motivation and her incredible outlook on how she wants to help people get the most from their time in Dubai. 

Having created The Entertainer, Donna sold the company a few years back, but now is firmly back in the driving seat as CEO and on a mission to bring bigger and better things to the Dubai community. Have a listen to find out what amazing addition she’s made to her office to look after the well-being and motivation of her team.  

Not only do we chat business and girl power, but Donna gives us an insight into her personal life, the work ethic she instils in her children and her commitment to community sport in the region. It was truly an honour to get to know the woman behind the brand!

We hope you love this podcast as much as we do, please share your thoughts at podcast@britishmums.com.
