Internationally acclaimed entrepreneur Toks Aruoture is the founder of The Baby Cot Shop. Known as Chelsea’s nursery interior design specialist, she is the leading authority on luxury spaces crafted for babies and children.

With her high-flying, international client base of celebrities, sports personalities and royalty, she designs and creates bespoke, premium nurseries to match the most luxurious briefs.

Her journey began when she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 2005 and launched a high-end furniture store. After returning to the UK during the recession in 2008, Toks discovered an absence of luxury furniture for babies and children.

Thus, The Baby Cot Shop online was born. In 2017 The Baby Cot Shop opened on Kings Road in Chelsea, which now houses the boutique store, designer showroom and business HQ.

Toks believes that the most valuable tools needed for exponential growth are the gifts each person carries. Still, limiting beliefs envelope these exceptional abilities, making it difficult for many women to access. She helps women in business identify and remove these mindsets so they can play bigger.

Toks travels the country public speaking, coaching and mentoring businesswomen and young people. She is the host of the inspiring Living Inside Out Podcast, as seen in The Times and The Telegraph.

Toks is married to her best friend, Jason, and is mum to four amazing boys.

"...she was using her own real life story. It's a lesson in resilience and belief in oneself, much needed at this time when a lot of businesses are taking a beating from the effects of the lockdown of 2020. Her story gave renewed hope that no matter how bad it may look now, once the flame of the passion still burns, you can do it again and do it even better. Thank you so much."
