A contestant and runner up on the first season of the iconic BBC 2 show The Apprentice, Saira has forged her legacy as a television personality since then. She is now available to speak at a range of corporate events where she delves into her journey on the show, and her life as a British Asian Muslim woman trying to achieve her goals.
Saira received an MA in Environmental Planning from the University of Nottingham in 1995. Once she got off The Apprentice, Saira served as the Managing Director of her own company called Miamoo. However, before the show, Saira worked in Sales and did exceedingly well in her role, whether it was as a Sales Executive or a Sales Director. She has worked with clients like Burton’s Biscuits, McVities and KP, Workthing.com and Yell. Saira currently runs her own skin care brand called SairaSkin.
As a presenter, Saira has truly made a mark for herself through her role as presenter on shows like The Martin Lewis Money Show, Beat the Boss, Trade Your Way to USA and on documentaries on Pakistan.

She joined as a Panellist on Loose Women in 2015. A unique personality who is not known to mince her words, she was nominated for the Services to Media award at the British Muslim Awards. An author too, Saira has written a self-help book called “P.U.S.H For Success” in 2006 that teaches people how to be proactive, understand themselves and others.
Former contestant on shows like Celebrity Big Brother and Dancing on Ice, where she got to show a little bit more of her own personality, Saira is now available to speak at a range of corporate events where she dives into telling her own story – from what it’s like to be a British Asian Muslim woman to what her journey on The Apprentice was like. A frank, witty, and knowledgeable speaker, Saira Khan will make a great choice for your next event.
