Deborah Meaden
A star of Dragons’ Den and one of the most successful businesswomen in the UK, Deborah Meaden is a formidable business speaker whose enthralling speaking events are a hit time and time again. As well as discussing her own triumphant career that has seen her become one of the country’s most recognisable business personalities, her popular speaking events also see her share inspirational anecdotes and life lessons that people can take into their own lives and careers.
Deborah’s business career began in the textiles industry, buying a Stefanel franchise in the UK. From here she moved on to run her family’s arcade business before launching Weststar Holidays in 1992. Over the years she has had many business exploits, experiencing the vast array of ups and downs that a career in business can bring. At her business speaking events, she’s able to discuss her career at length, displaying the dedication, willpower and committed attitude that saw her become the businesswoman we all know and love today.
Deborah first reached the public consciousness in 2006 when she joined the BBC’s business show Dragons’ Den. Here, Deborah joined other high net worth individuals to give budding entrepreneurs a chance at winning investment. Her probing questioning and firm but fair approach to those entering the den saw her become a big hit with audiences, and to date, she’s provided more than £3 million in investments on the show. Her role on Dragons’ Den has seen Deborah become a much-loved television personality, and in 2013 she competed in Strictly Come Dancing much to the delight of audiences everywhere. In her capacity as a business speaker, she’s able to talk about her television career and her passion for supporting up and coming entrepreneurs.
