Penny was the first (and remains the only) woman in the World to compete in a World Rally Car (the Formula 1 of Rallying). With 12 years of Rally Driving behind her, and as a motoring expert, she has presented many high profile TV shows including the hugely successful Channel 4 show Driven, World Rally Championship, The Used Car Roadshow, Accident Blackspots, Discoverys Classic Car Club, GMTV and The Road Show amongst many others.

Pennys early years were devastated by family alcoholism and mental illness. By 14 she could bear no more and left home, never to return. She found herself in London alone, and homeless for over three years. As Penny's life spiralled out of control, she realised that she alone could take control of her life. A chance event allowed her to realise a childhood dream of driving a Rally Car and she was hooked. She turned her life around, and against all the odds went on to become the first woman in the World to compete in a World Rally car. She made the impossible possible.

Penny's keynote is interactive, entertaining and thought provoking, but most importantly it compels people to take action immediately. She has an outstanding International reputation , and has worked with many blue chip clients including Coca-Cola, Grand Vision, Waitrose, Tesco, Telefonica, Klesch, Sony, Volkswagen, HPI, Jaguar, BMW, Honda, Metsec, Audi, Proctor & Gamble, Airbus, AutoGlass, P&O, Ford and many more.
