Wendy Baker Interiors And Shoestring Books

My early days were spent alone with my mother in Kew and in constant fear of being bombed as I was only one year old when World War 2 broke out. We were a team and together my mother and I were strong and ready to conquer the world.

When I left school my mother decided I should take a business course. I hated it BUT she was right, I turned out to be a good businesswoman. I started 5 very successful companies and what was great was the fact that I had no training for any of the industries, but I had common sense, and I enjoyed every moment of the challenges.

At 17 I became a model and although I was incredibly shy, somehow when I was on stage wearing a beautiful Dior gown I was on top of the world.
