Biography

As the founder of Holly & Co, notonthehighstreet and the UK Ambassador to Creative Small Businesses, Holly Tucker champions and shines a light on the incredible talent of creative small business owners and future founders across the world. She believes that following your passion and building a business doing what you love is the key to a happy and fulfilled life. She helped create a whole new way for small retailers to operate in the online era by providing them with a digital platform, support, and her knack for spotting products that will sell, and businesses with potential.

Holly is the antithesis of the stereotypical entrepreneur and challenges everything we think we know about the professional world. Not afraid to be herself, she's pumped over one billion into the UK economy, and helped countless small business owners grow their businesses.

Having founded the immersive brand Holly & Co to help small businesses through the highs and lows of their business journeys, she is leading the campaign for change by redefining what it means to be a ‘small business’, encouraging more women to start their own businesses, as well as empowering our young with the skills to thrive in the new working world they are entering.

Holly presents the podcast Conversations of Inspiration, which is consistently in the iTunes business charts top ten. She chats to the UK's brightest and most well-known founders of both small businesses and large iconic brands including Fearne Cotton, Sir Tim Smit, Julie Deane, and Richard Reed.

Her annual event, the Congregation of Inspiration is a mass-participation sing-along to your favourite feel-good tunes, an explosion of creativity and a place to both be yourself and chase your dreams.

Holly also has a best-selling book Do What You Love, Love What You Do, deemed to be the new business-bible, in which she looks back at her own story, sharing her biggest lessons and proven advice on creating and growing a business. The book shines a light on the creative community, showcasing the brilliant and unique output of small businesses, inspiring you to join them in their success. From side hustle to full-time, from defeating your confidence gremlins to creating an empowered community, Holly reveals both the skills and the mindset any founder needs to help their business thrive.
