Things you may not know about Kelly until now…. Kelly enjoys a spot of mindful Tai Chi with the sprightly Cambridge Kung Fu team. In her former hospitality life, she met the likes of David Beckham, Russell Crowe, Carol Vorderman and Lulu. Her favourite place in the world is the Blue Lagoon in Iceland and she’s partial to an occasional pub quiz challenge. She loves Lego and has a (relatively) secret passion for making chocolate and is currently pondering on how to blend these into her other business activities…
Values we live and work by
Be Intrepid
“A meaningful life is not a popularity contest. Do what in your heart you believe to be the right thing, and you may or may not get immediate approval from the world. Do it anyway.”
Be credible
“Truly successful decision-making relies on a balance between deliberate and instinctive thinking.”
Keep it simple
“The most effective way to do it, is to just do it.”
Be playful
“We all want to be a little glamorous, a little playful and a little mischievous at times.”
Make a difference
“Success isn’t about how much money you make, it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.”
Be warm
“When you focus on connection first, everything falls into place.”
