Danielle Baron is an impressive and inspiring figure who has overcome personal adversity to become a successful entrepreneur and pioneer in the education and well-being industry. Growing up in a economically poor single-parent household after the age of four, when her father committed suicide, Danielle learned the value of grit and determination from her mother’s strong work ethic. Her dedication to empowering children, teens, and women, particularly single mothers and newbie entrepreneurs, to thrive in life is commendable. Her highly regarded education business, which focuses on teaching English, mathematics, verbal and non-verbal reasoning, mocks, and interview skills, is a testament to her expertise in the field.
Danielle’s impressive entrepreneurship knows no limits. She is also making a positive impact on the world in other ways. Danielle is a finalist for Ms Great Britain 2023, and she is using her platform to help break the stereotypes of what Miss Great Britain is all about and to help inspire women to go out their and be their unique, amazing, confident selves.

INCLUSIVITY
Please let me know if you need any adjustments or if there is anything we can do to ensure that you have the same opportunity to benefit from this event as everybody else. We will do what we can, and learn from what we cannot.
Those with disability carers please just let us know that an extra person will be coming on your ticket. Thank you.
You can also use this link to purchase a delegate ticket via GoCardless as we understand that PayPal may be having issues
CRUCIALLY – We are about the removal of BARRIERS to Growth. SO – if the ticket price is too much for you to pay out of this week’s budget – you can spread the cost by paying over ten weeks! That is whether you want to attend as a delegate OR exhibit – we understand that cash flow in a cost of living crisis is leaving most UK citizens in a very real fragile state. As we talk about barriers to finance we do not want to be part of the problem BUT we must get paid, naturally, we can’t work for free either – we all need to find a way to earn a living without excluding those in hardship from accessing our products or services.
HERE IS THE LINK FOR DELEGATES to pay weekly (10 x £3)
HERE IS THE LINK FOR EXHIBITORS to pay weekly (10 x £30)
