Best known for transforming personal adversity into a platform for global change, Heather has spent decades advocating for disabled people, supporting landmine survivors and promoting ethical business practices. Following a life changing accident that resulted in the loss of part of her left leg, she became an international voice for amputees and people living with disabilities. Through her humanitarian work, business success and sporting accomplishments, Heather has inspired audiences around the world, making her a highly sought-after keynote speaker for organisations looking to motivate, challenge and empower their audiences.

Her advocacy extended internationally, particularly in Croatia and Cambodia, where her anti landmine campaigns gained widespread recognition and led to a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. She was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Association’s Adopt A Minefield campaign and later received an Honorary Doctorate from The Open University. Alongside her charitable work, Heather became a pioneering entrepreneur, launching the vegan food company VBites Foods, which grew into a multi-million pound business and helped create one of Europe’s largest plant-based food production footprints.

These include the Human Achievement Award from The Times, the People’s Courage and Determination Award at the inaugural Pride of Britain Awards, the Outstanding Achievement Award from World Ecology University and the Human Security Award from the University of California, Irvine.
