One of Britain’s most celebrated Paralympic athletes and a leading voice on equality and inclusion, Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson will take centre stage as keynote speaker at The Business Day at Bridlington Spa on Friday 5 June 2026.

Now in its 10th year, The Business Day continues to attract high-profile speakers who inspire and challenge delegates with fresh perspectives. Baroness Grey-Thompson brings a wealth of experience from her extraordinary sporting career and her influential role in public life. With 11 Paralympic gold medals, 35 world records, and a seat in the House of Lords, she is renowned for her resilience, leadership, and advocacy for inclusivity.

Stephen Parnaby OBE, Event Director of The Business Day, said,

“Tanni comes highly recommended as a speaker who truly engages audiences. Her story is powerful and thought-provoking, offering lessons that resonate far beyond sport. Delegates will gain insights into the winning mentality, resilience, teamwork, and inclusivity that have defined her journey. We are thrilled to welcome her to Bridlington Spa for what promises to be an inspiring keynote.”

Mark Lonsdale, Producer of The Business Day, added,

“As we celebrate a decade of The Business Day, it’s important that our speaker lineup reflects the values shaping modern business. Tanni’s openness, determination, and commitment to equality make her an ideal choice. Her perspective on overcoming challenges and fostering inclusive environments will leave a lasting impact on our delegates.”
