Rachel Elnaugh, provided by The Speakers CompanyOne of Britain’s highest profile female entrepreneurs, Rachel Elnaugh is also an adviser to Parliament on how to develop an enterprise culture in the UK.Having started her working life as an office junior, at the age of 24 she created the market leading experiences brand Red Letter Days on a shoestring budget from the front room of her home. Red Letter Days went on to generate over £100 million in turnover in the 16 years that she ran it, and in doing so pioneered the UK's £250 million experiences sector. This earned her an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the year award in 2002, as well as being short listed for the 2001 Veuve Clicquot Businesswoman of the year award in 2002. Then, in early 2005, Rachel shot to fame as one of the original Dragons in BBCTV's BAFTA nominated cult business show Dragon's Den. 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 helping entrepreneurs to achieve personal success. Rachel is a prolific business speaker, having entertained audiences throughout the UK and beyond including Harvard Business School, the London Innovation Forum, and the Conservative Party Conference, and has acted as a judge for many business awards including 'Accountancy Age', 'Enterprising Britain' and 'Women of Worth'. Rachel has recently been appointed as an ambassador for the Prince's Trust, is an entrepreneur in residence at the British Library Business Centre and was presented with the IAB 'Champion for Entrepreneurship in the UK Award' for 2008. She also recently gave evidence to Parliament on how to develop an enterprise culture in the UK. Rachel acts as mentor and consultant to a number of small businesses and launched her own unique Entrepreneurial Profiling system, and a series of Entrepreneurial Masterclasses.
