Hilary Devey was an English businesswoman, television presenter, television personality, and entrepreneur.
She is best known for her role on the BBC Two programme Dragons’ Den until she left to present the Channel 4 series The Intern.
Devey featured in numerous television programmes, which includes Secret Millionaire in 2008, in which she donated more than £70,000 to the Syke Community Centre in Rochdale and the Back Door Music Project.
Devey made her fortune launching Pall-Ex, a palletised freight network in 1996, the third palletised goods distribution network to be launched in the UK.
It was based on the well-established hub-and-spoke express parcels distribution model: this form of pallet network was pioneered by Palletline in 1992.
Pall-Ex handles around 8,000 palletised consignments through its Leicestershire hub each day, has over 90 network members and has annual revenues of £92 million.
