Celia Sawyer is a self-made multi-millionaire, interior designer, a dealer and a fit mother is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You left school aged 15 years and established a vast empire of several companies to become a self-made multi-millionaire. Tell us about this fairy tale journey of yours?
Ms. Celia Sawyer:
I wouldn’t call it “fairy tale”. I did pretty badly at school and didn’t come out with any exams, however I always had a feeling inside me that I was here for more and that something I would do one day would make a difference. I didn’t know what or how, but it was such a strong feeling I believed it! I went through various work routes, starting as a dental nurse, purely as I did this on work experience and the dentist liked me enough to offer me a job, qualifications or not.
After this I modeled for a few years, which taught me to use my wits and helped me find my inner voice and what I now call my b****S****radar! I was not very successful, either too short, too tall, too fat too thin, what a terrible business it is in many ways, however from that I went on to start my first business which was a photographers agency. I worked hard, cleaning in my spare time, day in day out seeing advertising execs with a few photographers books, with no luck.
I always believed “never give up” and it paid off as one day the phone did actually ring and it was Saatchi and Saatchi with a big campaign. I guess this reinforced my feelings that you can do anything if you keep trying. From this very moment the business grew and I took on various other avenues, such as work with commercial directors. It was a very exciting time and this experience then made me get into property developing which ultimately led to interior design. The rest is history as they say!

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You are a businesswoman, interior designer, dealer, property developer, business investor and a TV celebrity. How you manage such a remarkable multi-dimensional lifestyle?
Ms. Celia Sawyer:
With some difficulty as TV does take up a lot of your time, but I love what I do; I do enjoy it all. Sometimes I sit and think if I had nothing new happening every day I’d be so fed up and feel like I was underachieving.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have an extensive client base for whom you sources rare and beautiful objects. Tell us about an interesting experience with a client you still remember?
Ms. Celia Sawyer:
One of my clients offered me a huge sum of money and asked me to do a deal with a museum and purchase his Thomas Busby’s Chair; no luck and I’m pleased as I wouldn’t want him to sit on that anyway!!

Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Celia Sawyer:
I run (which I hate as I find it really hard work) most days about 5 miles. I also go to the gym 3/4 times a week for weight training. I have done this for years, and often I get the very enthusiastic trainers trying to get me to do a class but I have limited time and so I have to just decide there and then and get my trainers on and go! I run very early to start the day off as it clears my head and gets me feeling really positive.
