Special Projects
Entrepreneur in Residence, UCLan, Lancashire
Perhaps it’s my quirky style, and ability to tackle important issues with anecdotes and humour, that attracts students to my lectures. They have proven valuable and successful, and above all, it’s my happy place. Sharing experiences and lessons with the next generation of business leaders and event planners.
So, I’m particularly delighted to have been selected to join the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) as an Entrepreneur in Residence. Joining a team of business figureheads from across the northwest region, the University will call upon my 35+ years of experience at the forefront of the UK’s event industry, in-depth knowledge of the hospitality sector and acumen as a business founder and entrepreneur, to enhance the students’ experience at the university.
“I have always felt it is important to nurture young talent and contribute to the education of young people; and not just those studying in courses relevant to my industry. But all those students at UCLan with whom I can share my experiences and ideas on what it takes to become a successful entrepreneur.” – Liz Taylor
UCLan selects its educational contributors in a stringent vetting and recruitment process, with only those who can genuinely add real insight, time and experience to students being selected for the prestigious Entrepreneur in Residence programme. The entrepreneurs engage with students from a variety of courses through a combination of masterclasses, keynotes, and Q&A sessions. In addition, they may provide innovative projects for students to work on and advise on curriculum relevant to their industry.
“We are delighted Liz has joined our growing number of Entrepreneurs in Residence who represent some of the finest entrepreneurs in the northwest. We are really looking forward to working with Liz in helping our students and UCLan thrive from her knowledge and expertise.” – Professor Sue Smith, Acting Associate Dean, Research and Knowledge Exchange (RKE), Director of the Centre for SME and Enterprise Development, School of Business, University of Central Lancashire

"More is more and less is a bore."
Wise words from the late, great Iris Apfel — who has inspired the photoshoot that celebrates my new work with Nevs Model Agency… where I’m on the books!
Yes, an exciting project with one of the UK's top model agencies, who are working to bring out my voice, place, and personal style, and then share it with companies looking for their own Iris Apfel. A departure from my usual projects, but one that I am passionate about exploring. I'm looking forward to embarking on some wonderful campaigns with luxury brands and businesses, and to proving that it's never too late for a fresh adventure.
And the glasses - I love!
