Meet The Owner

Monday, 19 January 2026 - 57 minutes

Meet the Owner returns with a wide-ranging and inspiring conversation as host Steven Dryden Hall sits down with Gemma, a multi-business founder operating at the heart of the UK beauty and media industries. From her early days managing a major nightclub to building a thriving salon, launching a self-tanning and haircare range, creating a national awards platform and founding a PR and mentorship business, Gemma shares the reality of juggling multiple companies and trusting inspired action.

This episode explores her journey through education, confidence, personal branding and leadership, including how the UK Beauty Awards grew from a 300-person local event into a national ceremony heading for London’s West End. Gemma talks openly about money, delegation, seasonal business challenges, vision boards, wellness trends, digital products, TikTok commerce and why giving back has become central to her work.

There’s also insight into female entrepreneurship, building authority through visibility, podcasting and PR, plus a look ahead to future projects including mentorship programmes, beauty innovation and live events. Honest, energetic and full of practical takeaways for business owners at any stage.
