GUEST SPEAKER – TANYA BARDSLEY
Tanya was born on the 29th April 1981 in Wigan, Greater Manchester. She grew up living abroad and also across the UK in army barracks due to her father working for the British Army.
She is married to footballer Phil Bardsley and together they have four children. The couple got married in 2014.
Tanya is a reality TV star after being part of the original cast for the hit TV series The Real Housewives of Cheshire. She was on the show for 6 years and left in 2021.
As an adult Tanya was diagnosed with dyslexia. Further to this she was also diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 39 after being treated for anxiety. ADHD affects 0.85% of girls in the UK. Tanya revealed on This Morning that a whopping one in four women who are undiagnosed commit suicide.
After the diagnosis she decided to leave The Real Housewives of Cheshire to focus on her disorder and has since become an advocate for mental health. Tanya has admitted in the past she was in a dark place with depression before being diagnosed, experiencing a sinking feeling and an inner restlessness from her ADHD which had let to her previously attempting suicide.
After coming to terms with her diagnosis, Tanya quit drinking. “Drinking whilst having any kind of mental health problem is like pouring ethanol on to an open fire, Tanya described”. Now she is planning on using her own experiences to help others and has filmed an ITV documentary on her ADHD battle which aired this autumn; Tanya Bardsley: Me and ADHD.
GUEST SPEAKER – LAYLA FLAHERTY
Layla Flaherty, CEO and founder of Urban Paws UK, and ‘Pawgent’ for your pet stars. Five years ago, fed up of the fake party lifestyle, she decided to combine the three things she knew and loved best – modelling, TV and animals – to launch her own business. Switching the celebrity spotlight to her four-legged clients, she runs the UK’s go-to animal agency for luxury brands and leading high street names wanting to add anything from cats to camels to their campaigns.
Retailers including John Lewis, IKEA and Aldi have all featured Urban Paws animals in commercials and her pet supermodels have ‘walked’ for high fashion labels like Tom Ford, Burberry, Gucci and Stella McCartney. They’ve appeared in videos for chart megastars Rihanna and Little Mix, as well as in theatre and films where they’re given their own chill-out green room to relax in between takes.
Layla also has a roster of social media influencers who can command five-figure sums to post a photo of themselves posing with the latest product or living a dream lifestyle by the pool of a new luxury hotel. And, armed with their pet passports, her A-list clients jet off across Europe on assignments, with their lucky owners as chaperones.
EVENT PARTNER – FLAMINGO CAR FINANCE
Elizabeth McQuillan is your Car Queen!
From finance to concierge car sourcing, be it business or personal, she’s got it covered. As a recently accoladed car finance expert, she admits to previously being ‘that girl’ who felt intimidated and overwhelmed by car salesmen. Following a number of bad car and finance choices, she was finally saved in 2016, by her now husband, who had his own car dealership. After a complete career change back in 2017 and weathering the COVID storm, Elizabeth now has a business aimed specifically at helping females on their car journeys. The company values are based upon empowering females with the knowledge they need to make an independent, financial decision.
Due to her fast success, Elizabeth now offers her skills in Sales and Entrepreneurship to other female business owners at Business Retreats and Sales training days. She is honoured to be the main sponsor at The Pink Link Christmas Regional and is looking forward to supporting and connecting with likeminded female powerhouses!
