She is a regular and popular guest on This Morning, Good Morning Britain and Radio 2 and 4 and a regular presenter herself on Talk Radio.
She is MD of her own company Miamoo, a luxury range of skin care products. She launched the business in 2006 directly after completing The Apprentice. Having suffered with dry skin all her life and then overcoming the condition through self care using natural ingredients, she wanted to educate parents on how to prevent and heal dry skin conditions and offer a natural range of products that were effective yet kind and gentle on delicate skin.
In 2019 Saira was a contestant on ITV’s Dancing on Ice.
Saira Khan is a regular corporate keynote speaker on business start up, women in business, British Muslim integration, self development and sales training and her adoption journey.
However, the most popular subject Saira gets asked to talk about is her time and experience on “The Apprentice”. As a finalist of the first series she is respected for her “Can Do” attitude and her exceptional sales skills. She gave inspiration to every woman watching when she was asked about how she felt as the only female left in the competition, she answered, “I am equal to any man out there”.
Saira Khan’s straight talking, no nonsense approach makes her an energetic and captivating speaker. Her business insight comes from starting her own business rather than text books or theories. A born entrepreneur she honed her skills by working in various Blue Chip industries and in different roles ranging from a sales Exec to a Sales Director. She has worked for Burton’s Biscuits, McVities and KP, Workthing.com and Yell. She has sold everything from Biscuits to advertising.
