I wouldn't say Mrs Meldrum Ltd have won anything.
Rebecca comes across as very discontented and has an uncertain future.

you can see that she went to University from 2007 -2011 so she was 18 1/2 when she matriculated at RGU and graduated presumably in July 2011 when she was pregnant with Safiyah who was born in November that year.
When the majority of her University friends were heading off to graduate programme jobs, taking a few months off to go travelling, leaving Aberdeen to start their working life, Rebecca was 4-5 months pregnant and looking to potentially settle down in the same town she grew up in, 15 miles from where she went to University. I have no problem with that as it was her choice and I would not offer an opinion as many people now with the huge costs involved in attending University choose to attend a Scottish University as SAAS pay the fees if residency criteria met.
However it has limited her life experience, she has no work history to draw on other than her directorship of Mrs M Ltd and her travel has been mostly family based. She has never had to move to a new location with her work, embrace a new circle of friends and work colleagues and attain promotion through hard work, regular appraisal or exhibiting leadership qualities. Her recent possible GDPR breaches and the way she conducts business does show that she is limited in her approach to business and knowledge of legislation.
Businesses have to adapt and grow in the marketplace or another business will overtake you. Potentially the 'Influencer Business Model' could be the equivalent of the Wine Bars and Personal Organisers of the '80's......very few survive and only those that were exceptional, cemented their place in a niche market and adapted their business model to move with changing demands and had loyal clientele.
The limited life experience could potentially make Rebecca's brand more local than global and once the girls grow up, what next? The girls are her product, she is not a trained chef, sports science or art & design graduate with a skill or craft.
At what point do you stop selling your children, knowing that the risk of their images being seen and captured by those who seek out such images as salacious is high. When do you consider your children's mental health knowing that their peer group as they grow up can watch their birth on the internet, learn that your parents have used them as advertising material for their business and that an extraordinary amount of personal detail about them has been released into the public domain. Google is indeed the most common search engine and the one that throws up a huge amount of information on all members of the family - how ironic. The fact that CAMHS and University Student Mental Health Services are stretched to breaking point shows how vulnerable that section of the community is. Why add fuel to the fire.
Their children have become a commodity. At best, their school and University friends and future employers will have an enormous amount of personal information that can be used against as well as for them. At worst......
Rebecca & Lee should be investing every penny those three girls have earned them. Not in a larger house with a kindly gifted whatever but in funds for three girls to go to University / college / train in whatever they wish, and make their own way in this world, write their own history and not be shackled by the legacy of the internet footprint created by their parents for cash.
They have another few years at the very most before they become the next defunct wine-bar or slightly naff personal organiser.
Don’t tempt me....
Oh Go On......
