Stuck in a dead-end job that pays your mortgage but crushes your mojo? Frustrated about getting another year older but still no closer to following your dream? Want to change career but scared to take the plunge? Determined to turn a negative into a positive but looking for inspiration?

Celia Gaze was that person and she decided to do something about it. She said ‘goodbye’ to her life as a stressed-out NHS director and ‘hello’ to her new life running a quirky wedding venue, The Wellbeing Farm - complete with llamas in bow ties! And she celebrates the new decade releasing a book about her journey: Why Put a Bow Tie on a Llama?

As we kickstart 2020 with another New Year’s resolution, Celia will be taking part in a business lunch with a difference, where a collection of entrepreneurs will be sharing their personal stories of their life-changing moments and how and why they grabbed control of their destiny. 

There’s no cost, no hard-sell, just the promise or a great event chaired by award-winning journalist Chris Maguire.

PANEL GUESTS:

Celia Gaze: After overcoming severe work-related stress, Celia Gaze decided it was time to change her life and do something completely different; so she transformed a neglected farm into award-winning wedding venue The Wellbeing Farm where this event will be held.

Dave Bolton: After surviving a near fatal motorbike accident, Dave Bolton became a World Kickboxing Champion – only to be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Now he’s taken the fight to the cancer and is helping others by sharing his story.

Caroline McEleney: Caroline McEleney is one of the most respected names in hospitality having been the Director of Hospitality Sales at Manchester City and the Director of Venue Sales and Marketing at rivals Manchester United. However she gave it up to launch her own business and has gone from strength-to-strength.

Lorna Davidson: Redundant and with a young family to support Lorna Davidson launched her business - Tactical Solutions – from her garden shed before selling it for millions of pounds. Her retirement lasted four hours...before she decided to do it all again and launch her second business RedWigWam.

Cody Gapare: During her treatment for breast cancer Cody Gapare lost her hair, eye brows and eyelashes. While she found the wigs worked well, there was nothing on the market for her missing eyelashes – so she launched her own business C- Lash.

David Beharall: A former professional footballer with Newcastle United who took early retirement from football at the age world of 27 and became an entrepreneur as managing director of digital agency CandidSky.
