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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most commonly asked questions and answers. If you can’t see your question, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Booking a speaker is made as straightforward as possible with Evolve. Start by browsing our website for the perfect speaker or call us directly to get a shortlist and advice. We can then get a quote on the price and ensure that the date is available. Once the deposit is received, we can put all the logistical details in place including sorting out the contract, travel accommodation etc. We will also provide a full brief to ensure that your chosen speaker meets your expectations.
The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.
Instead of having to approach each speaker individually, which can be challenging and time-consuming, we will take care of all of the legwork for you. The relationships that we have built up ensure that we are able to negotiate a fair price and take care of all the tricky logistical details that can otherwise cause a major headache. We ensure that a detailed contract is drawn up and are available to deal with any challenges that may occur along the way.
Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
Of course! One of our team would love to talk you through the range of speakers on our website and what they can offer to your next big event.
Simply get in touch with us over the phone or via email to discuss being added to our stable of speakers.
