Kelly Holmes MBE
As a global inspirational and motivational speaker for over 20 years, a TV presenter, and a trained Mental Health First Aider, Dame Kelly continues to be a voice for change. She embodies resilience, determination, and the spirit of empowerment, serving as a true trailblazer for countless causes.
As we reflect on the remarkable journey of two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Dame Kelly Holmes, we celebrate not just her extraordinary achievements but also her enduring impact as a role model and inspiration worldwide. Recognised in 1998 by the now King Charles, when she was awarded an MBE by honouring her contributions to the armed forces.
Her illustrious athletic career spanned 12 years, during which she claimed multiple medals at the Commonwealth, European, World, and Olympic levels. The pinnacle came in 2004 at the Athens Olympic Games, where she made history as the first British woman ever to win two gold medals in a single Olympics, triumphing in the 800m and 1500m events.
In recognition of her monumental achievements in sport, she was honoured with a Damehood by the late Queen Elizabeth in 2005.
Dame Kelly Holmes — a charity founder, winner of multiple awards as a speaker and a philanthropist, she is beacon of strength. A champion and voice of change, and a relentless advocate for those striving for greatness.
''Dame Kelly Holmes is extremely inspirational and motivational. She should be commended for being such an approachable, down to earth and charming person who has achieved such extraordinary things.'' - BP
