About Linda
Linda Plant catapulted her career from humble beginnings to become one of Britain’s most formidable business leaders.
Leaving school at 15, Linda went from hustling fashion on a market stall to launching the international knitwear brand Honeysuckle, becoming one of the first women to float a fashion company on the London Stock Market. A true trailblazer, she’s held executive roles that would make most entrepreneurs sick with envy, building and running successful companies across multiple industries.
Since 2015, you’ve seen her as one of the fierce interviewers on BBC One’s The Apprentice, where she advises Lord Sugar and grills candidates. Her unstoppable passion for business and entrepreneurship has earned her multiple awards, and she’s a revered judge and panellist for top female entrepreneurs on HSBC’s Panel of Forward Ladies and a Prince's Trust Mentor.
Recently, Linda has returned to her fashion and marketing roots with her latest business venture, 4LOVE. She's on a mission to revolutionise how fashion is promoted online, partnering her clothing line with an array of celebrities and cultural icons. In addition to being a trendsetter for women in their prime, Linda runs two thriving businesses in interior design and property development. Adding to that business empire, Linda and her son are about to launch a comparison website for Turkish dental clinics, giving customers peace of mind when booking dental procedures.
