Hi, I’m Sarah

I’m the founder of ZEST Singles.

I’ve spent most of my life bringing people together — first through hospitality, and now through ZEST.

At 13, I decided I wanted to become a Hotel Manager. I loved the idea of creating places where people felt welcome, relaxed and looked after. That instinct never left.

Today, I create welcoming events and experiences for singles over 50 — designed to help people meet naturally, whether in person or online.

Outside of ZEST, I love family, old houses, France, Australia, classic cars and a good glass of wine with cheese.

Life is best shared.

TESTIMONIALS

“Because of Sarah, we met… and now we’re engaged.”

Adam & Suze — engaged

“I much preferred it to the ‘lottery’ of online dating. People seemed genuine and it was easy to talk"

Samantha, Speed Dating 

“Sarah was very welcoming, made everyone

feel relaxed and the evening was fun.”

Philip — first ZEST event
