Sarah is one of the youngest, most successful people in the food and leisure industry. She was recently acknowledged as one of the "35 most successful women under 35" in the UK, featured in the Courvoisier Top 500 and in Business Weekly's Young Entrepreneur of the Year Awards 2007.

With two business degrees under her belt, the Staffordshire born, self-confessed foodie focused her attention on a career in restaurants and leisure.

For over a decade the proud mother of two children has managed some of the biggest brands in the restaurant industry, from Planet Hollywood in France to Pizza Express International where she oversaw restaurant openings in 12 countries.

In 2004 Sarah was part of a consortium which acquired The Bombay Bicycle Club in London.

She swiftly turned it from a loss-making business into a profitable one, growing it from six restaurants to 17. It is now the largest chain of Indian restaurants in the UK.
