Celia Sawyer is the Founder of exclusive Mayfair interior design company Celia Sawyer Luxury Interiors, which boasts a portfolio across the globe. As a dealer both on and off the big screen, Celia collects art and collectibles and has an extensive client base for which she sources rare and beautiful objects, buying and selling for world renowned sporting personalities, celebrities and entrepreneurs, to some of the most influential development companies in the world. Further to her successful interior design business, Celia Sawyer first appeared on our screens as one of the best known stars of Channel 4's prime-time series 'Four Rooms'. It was this program, now in its fifth series, which propelled Celia into the limelight and television arena. As one of the all-star dealers on Four Rooms Celia bids and negotiates for the best possible price for the treasures on offer. It is her straight-talking, feisty manner and impeccable style that has helped Celia to become the go-to expert on this cult television show. It is her steely determination that won her the role on the award-winning show. Celia reveals how she saw a Channel 4 advert asking viewers to send in snaps of their vintage treasures that could appear on the program. Instead of putting forward an intriguing object, Celia advertised herself as a curious collectible and emailed her own photo to producers. Following on from the success of Four Rooms, Celia was selected by the BBC to host a new factual prime-time, entertainment show for BBC one, titled Your Home in Their Hands, which debuted in September 2014. This program sees amateur designers take over people's homes across the UK for a make-over, often with a twist. The show has received in excess of 3 million viewers a week. With a growing fan base Celia continues to juggle the dynamic world of television and her own successful interior design business. As a self-made multi-millionaire businesswoman Celia is inundated with mail from people from all walks of life, giving advice on everything from growing or starting a business to how to keep in shape. Her passion is to find ways to help inspire individuals and businesses to achieve their ultimate goals, as she is a prime example that you can turn your dreams into a reality, having left school at 15 with few qualifications Celia has always relied on her unflinching self-belief. It is this drive and belief that helped Celia seize every opportunity, first working as a dental nurse then creating her first business as a photographer's agent; representing photographers and finding them work on lucrative campaigns for advertising agencies, including Saatchi & Saatchi. Celia's eye soon turned to interior design after entering the property game, buying, renovating then selling on for profit. It was from here that Celia's creative and savvy style for interiors came to life. After being asked to work on a plethora of contacts houses she was then invited to work on a famous footballer's residence after a winning pitch. Since then, Celia has never looked back and over the last decade has built up a hugely successful luxury interior design company, not only decorating clients' homes, hotels and bars but also buying pieces which will fit into their growing private collections. Celia Sawyer Luxury Interiors boasts a portfolio across the world, from luxury mansions, penthouses, beach villas, aviation and show homes. Celia is frequently in mainstream press, alongside being a columnist for the MailOnline, Hello! Magazine and The Huffington Post. Celia's personal style has also garnered attention, with her show-stopping outfits; she is seen to be a style icon and will soon be launching a home range. Away from the world of business Celia is a mother of two who enjoys family life and keeping fit - something incredibly important to Celia. Charity also plays a significant role in Celia's life being an Ambassador for the Prince's Trust, the British Heart Foundation, a Patron for The Children's Liver Disease Foundation, Womens Refuge and a Board Advisor for Football For Peace. Furthermore Celia supports Help for Heroes, Dorset Air Ambulance, Variety Leonard Cheshire Disability, Well Child, Make a Wish, RNLI Life Boats and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
