Sara Davies

Sara Davies is a celebrated entrepreneur and one of the most prominent business figures in the United Kingdom. While still a university student, she launched Crafter’s Companion from her bedroom after identifying a niche for a bespoke crafting tool. This initial spark evolved into a global retail powerhouse, exporting to over 40 countries and generating a multi-million-pound turnover. Her rapid ascent in the business world led to her becoming the youngest ever investor on the BBC series Dragons’ Den, where she has since backed numerous fledgling ventures across multiple sectors. Beyond the boardroom, Sara is a highly respected advocate for small businesses and entrepreneurship. She draws on her journey from a working-class background to international success to provide guidance on innovation, customer experience, and managing rapid growth. Her expertise also extends to leadership and time management, themes explored in her Sunday Times bestselling books, We Can All Make It and The Six-Minute Entrepreneur. Currently, she serves as the North East Ambassador for the charity Smart Works and holds the role of Chief Inspiration Officer for Avon UK. As a keynote speaker, Sara offers a unique blend of practical commercial intelligence and engaging delivery. She is frequently booked for her ability to translate complex business strategies into relatable lessons on resilience, spotting market opportunities, and leading with authentic purpose.
