Deborah Meaden is a well-known British entrepreneur and investor who gained fame as a Dragon on the popular TV show Dragons' Den.
Deborah's business journey began at a young age with a simple export company, which eventually grew into a successful fashion franchise. She later ventured into the leisure industry and became the Managing Director of Weststar Holidays, a holiday park owned by her family.
During her time there, she transformed the company into a profitable business and sold her shares for a staggering £33 million. Even after the sale, she retained 23% ownership and continued to innovate and develop the company, eventually selling her remaining shares for £83 million.
In addition to her business ventures, Deborah is actively involved in charity work, serving as a WWF ambassador and a Tusk Trust patron. Her diverse portfolio of businesses gives her unique insights into retail trends and strategies.
Deborah's ability to turn companies around and create sustainable growth has earned her a reputation as a respected business speaker. She is highly sought after as a speaker for business conferences and workshops.
She is also active on social media and has authored a book called "Common Sense Rules: What You Really Need To Know About Business."
