June 10th: 10:30 – 12:00 The Hub presents Rachel Elnaugh @ The Baltic

Rachel will be giving an inspirational 1 – hour keynote speech to as many people as we can fit in the room. This will be followed by a half hour Q&A.

Rachel Elnaugh began her working life as an office junior but at the age of 24 she set up Red Letter Days which went on to generate £100million in the 16 years that she ran it.

After the well-publicised crash of Red Letter Days in 2005, which followed the ill-advised expansion of the business three years earlier, Rachel stepped away from the media spotlight and has been working in the small business sector ever since, inspiring, motivating and empowering entrepreneurs to achieve personal success.

She was awarded the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2002. She was also short-listed for the Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the year in 2001 as well as the Growing Business Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2002.

You may also remember Rachel as one of the original “dragons” when Dragon’s Den started life in 2005.

If you would like to hear Rachel talk about the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur and an opportunity to meet her personally.
