About Sarah
Hello, I’m Sarah — the founder of Zest Singles.
I’m a natural people-connector and I love creating events that feel warm, welcoming, and easy from the moment you arrive. You’ll notice many of our socials centre around food — it’s where conversation flows, friendships begin, and people quickly feel at home.
Outside of Zest, I’m a proud mum to two grown-up sons and I love spending time with family. In my spare time, you’ll usually find me out for a walk, catching up with friends, or enjoying good food and a lovely glass of wine. I’m also a lifelong cheese lover!
My Story.
I’ve spent most of my working life in hospitality and customer service, both in the UK and overseas — and I’ve always loved bringing people together.
In fact, when I was 13 I decided I wanted to become a Hotel Manager. I left school at 16 and started out studying Hotel Management, and that love of hosting and looking after people has stayed with me ever since.
When I became single, I wanted something more enjoyable than apps, and more welcoming than trying to meet new people on your own. I went along to an online singles event, and before long I found myself helping to run the events for the company.
A couple of years later, I was lucky enough to continue the concept — and that’s how Zest was born. Today, I host friendly, well-organised social events where people can connect naturally, in real life, and feel part of something.
Zest was launched in November 2022, and since then I’ve hosted hundreds of events. It’s become a big part of my life, and I’m proud of what it’s grown into.
