Weststar Holidays was a holiday business associated with Meaden’s early entrepreneurial career. She developed experience in the leisure and tourism sector before moving into a broader range of investments and business activities.

Meaden became one of the best-known Dragons on the British programme, where she developed a reputation for direct questioning and a focus on commercial fundamentals. Her television career can sometimes overshadow the businesses she ran before joining the panel.

Weststar Holidays is distinct from other companies linked to Meaden, including leisure and property interests discussed in biographies of her career. The answer refers to the holiday company she sold, not to a later investment made during her time on the programme.
