An absolute privilege to interview Sandy Lindsay MBE in our forthcoming episode on Sofa Stories Podcast 🎙️🛋️ .
Sandy has had a remarkable journey from growing up in one of the toughest council estates in the UK to becoming one of the most successful businesswomen in the communications and digital marketing arena.
Hear how she started Award winnning Social Media and creative agency Tangerine in 2002, and was the first agency in the country to start apprenticeships through the The Juice Academy which has created more than 600 digital marketing jobs for young people to leading firms nationwide including ourselves at AB’s.
She also put her business Tangerine into an employee-owned trust in 2017, which again was one of the first PR firms to do so, following the John Lewis model. Sandy sits proudly now as Chair to Tangerine.
A proud adopted Mancunian, she also sits as Vice Chair of Forever Manchester which is the only charity that raises money to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester and she donated all the proceeds from the sale of Juice Academy to Forever Manchester.
Sandy was honoured in the Queen’s Honours list in 2015 with an MBE for services to Business and Young people. She also now sits on the Governing Board of Directors The Rugby Football League which she absolutely loves and admits is one of the best things she has ever done.
Entrepreneur, pioneer, philanthropist and most of all a fantastic person!. Thank you for a brilliant interview Sandy 🙌🏻
