Sara Davies; Roisin Currie; Sophie Milliken: Dragons’ Den to steak bakes (and everything in between)
Notas del episodio
The latest episode of the Northern Leaders podcast is a live recording with three of the North East’s most influential businesswomen.
Sara Davies is best known for being a Dragon on Dragons’ Den and recently rescued the business that she founded, Crafter’s Companion, from administration.
She explains why she can’t be a stay-at-home Mum and doesn’t beat herself up for missing her kids’ sports day.
Davies explains the early lesson Deborah Meaden taught her in the Den – and is grilled over who her favourite Dragon is.
Roisin Currie has overseen a period of unprecedented growth as CEO of Greggs – but refuses to take the credit.
She reveals her approach to constant innovation and her sense of purpose in doing the right thing.
Sophie Milliken is the founder of Moja and a published author. She won the Business Champion Award North East at this year’s Northern Leader Awards.
Milliken talked about the importance of following your gut when making decisions– and what happened when she didn’t – and why the North East is riding the crest of a wave.
The podcast was recorded in front of a live audience at KPMG’s Newcastle office.
