Rachel Woolford
Founder of North Studio & Winner of The Apprentice 2024
Rachel became a household name after winning The Apprentice and securing a £250,000 investment from Lord Sugar. Founder of North Studio in Roundhay, she has grown her boutique wellness brand into one of Leeds’ most exciting fitness spaces, recently expanding into Reformer Pilates with Lord Sugar’s backing.
Rachel will share her experience of pitching under pressure, scaling a business and staying focused on long-term vision.
Savannah Roqaa
Founder of The Savvy Baker
What began as a lockdown baking project in Roundhay has grown into one of Yorkshire’s most recognisable food brands. Savannah built The Savvy Baker from her home kitchen into a multi-location business, with cafés in Leeds, York and Chesterfield.
Recently named one of Business Insider’s 42 Under 42, Sav will share her journey from side hustle to scaling a fast-growing brand, and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Founder of Jane Clynes Events
With over 30 years of experience in the Leeds events industry, Jane is one of Yorkshire’s most respected event professionals. She has worked with clients including Manning Stainton, BigChange and UK Israel Business, and co-founded the Pride in Diversity Awards.
