TLE Founder Bethan Laker Announced as Finalist for Inspirational Woman of the Year 2025
This prestigious award recognises a woman whose courage, vision and determination have uplifted and motivated those around her. It celebrates individuals who embody authenticity, resilience, and meaningful impact , qualities Bethan demonstrates every single day.
Last year, she proudly took home the Women in Sport Award , and we are incredibly honoured to see her acknowledged once again in such a powerful category.
A Leader Who Inspires by Doing
While Bethan is the first to shy away from compliments, anyone who knows her understands why her name has risen to the top again. She pours her heart into everything she does, whether it is leading The Leisure Experts, championing women in leisure, supporting Bristol Biking Girls, driving community initiatives, or juggling the never-ending demands of work, events, and family life.
Bethan never sets out to be “inspirational”. She simply shows up, consistently, with commitment, honesty, humour, and a genuine passion for helping others thrive. That authenticity is exactly why she inspires so many.
Proud Doesn’t Even Cover It
At The Leisure Experts, we are beyond proud to have Bethan as a leader, colleague, and friend. Her talent, tenacity and heart underpin everything we do, creating opportunities, challenging norms, raising standards, and lighting the path forward for women in an industry that hasn’t always made room for them.
This nomination doesn’t just reflect Bethan’s achievements; it reflects her impact, on our team, on our industry, and on the communities she pours energy into without fanfare or expectation.
