Lara Morgan is a highly accomplished British entrepreneur whose business expertise and leadership skills set her apart as an inspiring figure in the corporate world. With a remarkable ability to motivate individuals and teams, she provides invaluable insights on business growth, sales strategies, and leadership development. Her journey began when she moved from Hong Kong to London at the age of 23, determined to carve out a successful career despite the challenging economic landscape. Undeterred by early setbacks, she displayed extraordinary perseverance and confidence, famously knocking on the doors of The Dorchester Hotel in a second-hand suit to pitch essential toiletries such as shower caps and sewing kits.

Before founding her own company, Lara gained experience across diverse business environments in Hong Kong, Scotland, and the Middle East, which gave her a global perspective on trade and entrepreneurship. With this foundation, she established Pacific Direct, a company specialising in sourcing and manufacturing brand-licensed toiletries for luxury hotels. What started as an ambitious venture soon turned into a thriving global enterprise, thanks to her relentless drive, strategic mindset, and unwavering self-belief. Over 17 years, she built the company from scratch, securing major clients and expanding internationally. Her success was driven by her ability to set ambitious goals, push boundaries, and instil confidence in her team, demonstrating what it takes to transform an idea into a market-leading business.
