A former lawyer, she is best known for building two famous brands – Coffee Republic, UK’s first coffee bar chain, which she and her brother grew to 110 stores and £30m turnover and exited in 2001, and Skinny Candy, the guilt-free confectionery brand which she sold to Glisten plc in 2007.

She is a bestselling author. Her first book Anyone can do it – building Coffee Republic from our kitchen table is UK‘s highest selling book on entrepreneurship after Richard Branson’s book and has been translated into six languages.

Her latest book Switched On published in May 2010 is based on her experience with innovation and employee engagement in large corporations and sets out eight habits to infuse your organisation with a “can do” entrepreneurial attitude.
