Sian was absolutely fabulous at our event and really helped make it impactful, we’ve received incredibly positive feedback
AD-VENTURE, Start-Me-Up Event Host

Sian was excellent in every respect. She connected really well with the audience (specifically the final 2/3rds) had a business angle – and it supported the theme of Global Entrepreneurship Week. A great choice I believe! I will be in touch about next year!
Emma, Sherborne School for Girls

Sian was authentic, personable, driven/relatable and represented the North. She also supported above and beyond by visiting all the exhibitors and speaking at length with business owners, delegates and entrepreneurs. I personally believe Sian is an inspiration to many new starts, growth seeking and established businesses/entrepreneurs. The resilience she has shown is a credit to herself and her family.
Monet Goode, BBSA

I just wanted to extend a huge thanks to Sian on behalf of the University and School of Business in particular, for the fantastic session she did for us on 2nd. We had just under 200 students and staff join the event and lots of positive feedback. Sian was really engaging and seemed to really resonate with the students.
