She shares her entrepreneurial journey, including the challenges and successes of expanding her business from a small kitchen operation to a global brand.

Highlights include:

• The story behind how Neo-Walk was founded, with humble beginnings as a small business in York, and how it grew into an international brand, used by Hollywood celebrities.

• Lyndsey’s perspectives on disability and how it makes her feel empowered, not different, allowing her to embrace doing things ‘a little bit differently’.

• The unique opportunities and experiences Lyndsey has had, including pitching Neo-Walk on Dragons Den, performing at the London paralympics and starring in the Bad Education movie.

• Lyndsay’s focus is on growing Neo-Walks presence within the US market, whilst also striving to take more time for herself and find balance and rejuvenation.
