Bio

Having had successful roles in Software Sales, Inside Sales & purchasing management over the past 20+ years (including successful sales management roles at SAP) I am now founder & CEO of Blue Badge Style www.bluebadgestyle.com and Co-Founder of The Blue Badge Access Awards. I am also Co-Chair of Future Forum at The Inst. of Hospitality which promotes 'true inclusion' in the sector. The aim of Blue Badge Style is to create a social network of like minded people where 'style & disability are not mutually exclusive'​ . The community in the UK is, at a minimum, 1m & 8m in Europe of affluent people who need to know where to go, what to buy, what to do, '​in style'​, but happen to have a disability. We inform them of the obstacles they may find and have a 'Michelin-Like'​ rating system for venues.Our BBS Awards have become a regular on the awards calendar and are well received within both the hospitality and disability communities. We have had some investment & are developing a new business model for Accessibility contact me for more information on this exciting innovation, fiona@bluebadgestyle.com. We are the global 'Go To Site'​ for anything to do with disability & style. We have also developed a mobile app that provides this information 'on the go'​. It's free at the moment & is useful disabled or not. Available on iPhone, iPad, Android. We achieve revenue through sales of Venue Galleries, accreditations, advertising, equipment sales commissions & eventually through data research regarding the disability market which in the UK is estimated to be £249Bn p.a. - The Economist called this market the ''New Green''​.
