Fireside Chat with Becky Lumsden, Founder & CEO PURE Spa

Wednesday June 18th, 6.00 - 8.30pm

Join us for an unforgettable evening of insight, inspiration, and entrepreneurial grit as we sit down with Becky Lumsden, the powerhouse behind PURE Spa & Beauty, a brand that has redefined wellness in the UK.

When Becky started PURE Spa, she had no investors, no big team—just an idea and the drive to make it work. From humble beginnings to building a national wellness empire, Becky’s journey is a masterclass in resilience, vision, and bold ambition. A qualified Chartered Accountant who pivoted from corporate life to entrepreneurship, Becky launched PURE Spa in 2002 with a single salon in Edinburgh.

Today, PURE is a multi-faceted wellness brand with 13 spa locations, a 100% natural product line, two online gifting platforms, and a scalable wellness concept poised for global growth.

Becky’s story is more than business success, it's about defying expectations. From overcoming a challenging education and being the only girl in her school year to attend university, to walking into PwC’s office after a rejection and demanding a second chance (which she got!), Becky embodies the entrepreneurial spirit: tenacious, visionary, and unapologetically bold.

What we'll cover:

• How to spot and seize market gaps before they become trends
• The realities of scaling a business while raising a family
• Lessons in leadership, resilience, and reinvention
• Why wellness is more than a trend—it's a movement
• How PURE is navigating the future of wellness with tech, products, and purpose

🎟️ Reserve your spot now and get ready to be inspired by a story that proves your past doesn’t define your future...your passion does.
