Following the recent announcement of Clare Balding as keynote speaker, the organisers of The Business Day have announced Abbie Eaton will join the line-up of speakers for the event taking place on Friday 9 June at Bridlington Spa.
The Business Day is an annual networking event tailored to a day of discovery insight, with over 700 business leaders coming together for the event hosted by Gyles Brandreth.
Abbie Eaton is one of the most exciting female talents in the male dominated world of Motorsport, having raced for over 20 years and amassed several championship titles.
She is also known for her role as the Test Driver in Amazon’s hit TV show, The Grand Tour. In which she sets lap times in the featured cars, and also joins Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond on their trips and challenges abroad.
Her career has been filled with some extreme highs and crushing lows quite literally, breaking her back in 2021 to then overcoming the odds to get back in a race car only six months later.
Stephen Parnaby OBE, Event Director said: “Abbie adds an exciting new element to The Business Day with her inspirational story of facing an overwhelming setback and bouncing back to even greater heights and the success she has achieved in the world of Motorsport”.
