Who We Are

Take Your Brand To New Heights With Us

While the ways in which we engage with audiences in the online space may be constantly changing, the one insight to emerge from our time working with start-ups and small businesses is that social media isn’t everything – yes, really! Social media is but one element of marketing a business. To get it right, you need to create a brand that delivers consistent and creative messaging across all platforms and a website with powerful content (and that means images as much as words) that tells your story perfectly. Events, product launches, workshops or celebrations can also serve as an important component of this marketing mix.

There is of course nothing like the hands-on experience of running our own business, pitfalls and all, to provide us with an empathetic understanding of the needs of business owners. We absolutely ‘get’ that start-ups and small businesses don’t have limitless funds to market their business, Since clients deal with just one person and no studio overheads it enables us to keep costs down, while my extensive network of marketing experts allows clients to access a wider range of services if and when required, such as photographers, videographers, SEO specialists etc.

We genuinely love what we do. Helping budding entrepreneurs and struggling businesses find their feet is reason enough to get out of bed each morning and nothing gives us more of a buzz than to sit down and find out exactly what clients want to achieve and to offer an effective marketing solution well within your budget.

With 25+ years in marketing & events management, I can support you in the marketing maze. I unscramble the marketing jargon, take the fear out of using the marketing tools and platforms to grow your brand. We’ll make sure your website (your shop window) is looking good and working to it’s optimum and attracting new clients.

I keep the drama of your event where you want it – wowing your audience, not reducing you and your team to nervous wrecks! Getting it wrong can be costly and I am all about making your money deliver results, quickly and efficiently. I’ve organised them all – huge wedding fairs, business expos and product launches and worked as a wedding planner & conference manager. My Little Black Book of contacts and suppliers has an answer to anything!

I’m a great believer in seeing the big picture and in not over-complicating the strategy for getting a client from their current state A to a desired state B, which is where the value of having an outsider with a bird’s eye view of the marketing maze comes into its own. Having navigated every path with many clients, I can safely guide you through it.

I started working for Queen Bee & Co in 2023, after retraining as a web designer. However, I’ve been partner (now husband) to the Queen Bee, Debbie, for nearly 19 years!

I support Debbie with many aspects of Queen Bee and Co, and you’ll see me at some of the ‘In The Hive’ networking events, but my primary focus is on the website design aspect of the business. If you have a website you’re not happy with, or you need a brand new website, then please contact me and I’ll be delighted to help. I also specialise in hand drawn logos. Bespoke logos can really make your business stand out from the crowd.

I’m also an artist, specialising in wildlife and pet portraiture. If you have a beloved pet you would like a portrait of, then give me a call. Portraits make wonderful, unique presents so if you have a special occasion round the corner then let me know and I can produce a portrait that will last a lifetime.

Just back from Debbie’s “My Greek Retreat” in Corfu and I must say I had the most amazing time.
The venue was amazing, the ladies were fabulous and interspersed with some fun and lots of laughter we actually spent time working “on” our businesses, not “in” our businesses. I came away with clarity on my next steps going forward and a decisive plan. The food was wonderful and we were very well looked after. We even had a photographer to take some individual publicity shots of us.
I can highly recommend this as a way of resetting and getting a grip on where you want your business to be heading and how you are going to achieve it.
My only worry is that if too many people realise how wonderful it is - there will be no spaces left for me next year !
Thank you Debbie at Queen Bee & Co - you are a star ⭐

I went on Debbie’s business retreat to Corfu and had such an amazing time. It was the perfect mix of business and pleasure and the attention to detail and little treats we received every day were such a lovely touch!

I loved the mix of learning every morning, a delicious lunch in our villa, free time in the afternoon and evening meals were either in the villa or out in the local town (as well as a trip into Corfu town an hour away). Combined with yoga sessions, reiki on the beach and a session with a professional stylist Debbie had thought of everything. We also had a professional photo shoot at the villa which was a lovely unexpected touch.

Having space and time to work on my business on the retreat really did help me solidify the direction I want to take the business over the next few months. Being together with so many other inspiring female business owners, who were so encouraging and supportive, really helped me get my mojo back and I’m so excited for what’s to come in my business over the next few months!

Everybody felt completely at ease with each other too - thanks to the environment Debbie had created - even though many of us were strangers when we arrived we definitely left as friends. We laughed and we cried together and it’s amazing what can happen with your mindset in 5 days when talented ladies are brought together. A huge thank you Debbie for making the retreat what it was!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the pleasure of working with Debbie from Queen Bee & Co for our Octopus Computers Tech Conference 2026, which welcomed 70 attendees at The Barnsdale in Rutland.

Having organised the conference myself over several months, I wanted someone reliable and experienced to support us with registration and on-the-day logistics, and Debbie was absolutely fantastic!

Debbie was professional, friendly, organised and incredibly helpful throughout the day. She made sure our guests were welcomed, registration ran smoothly and everything behind the scenes was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the conference itself.

Having that extra support made such a difference, especially during a busy event with multiple speakers, sponsors and attendees.

Debbie was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Queen Bee & Co to anyone looking for professional, friendly and reliable event support.

Thank you again Debbie! 🐙💙

I should have written this review ages ago...sorry! Fantastic company from start to finish. Deborah and her husband are doing great, great things, especially for small businesses. Do reach out to them and attend their networking events and also reach out for business support too when needed. I can't think of anything negative to say about them and this is a testament to the great work they do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a lovely time at In the Hive networking event at the White Hart Hotel last Tuesday! Debbie created such a warm, welcoming and supportive atmosphere that made it easy to connect with some truly inspiring local businesswomen.

It was great to hear everyone introduce themselves and share the passion behind their businesses. There was a real sense of encouragement and community rather than competition, which made the morning feel both uplifting and energising.

Thank you, Debbie, for bringing together such a wonderful group of women. I'm already looking forward to the next one!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Debbie is a real organiser with a true passion for bringing women together. She has such a natural ability to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere where women can connect, support one another, and genuinely learn from each other’s experiences.

I had the great pleasure of attending one of her events and it was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The energy in the room was incredibly positive, inspiring, and uplifting. You could really feel the sense of community and encouragement that Debbie creates so effortlessly.

What impressed me most was how authentic and supportive the whole experience felt — not just networking for the sake of networking, but real conversations, real inspiration, and real connections.

I would highly recommend Debbie’s events to any woman looking to grow, connect, and surround herself with positive and driven people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently joined in with the Women's World Weekender Event and it was a really excellent weekend. The speakers were all great and lovely people, each with really interesting talks. The food was also excellent and speaking for myself, I was very comfortable. I did enjoy a boogie - haven't done that in a while!!

You have a wonderful knack of making every person feel welcome and seen! So thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Employment and Corporate Law team thoroughly enjoyed exhibiting at the Big Business Event at The Meres. The event was extremely well organised, with a great atmosphere and excellent networking opportunities throughout the day.

It was fantastic to connect with so many local businesses and showcase how we support employers and businesses with practical legal advice. Thank you to the organisers for putting together such a successful event. We look forward to attending again.
