About

Shazia Awan

Shazia has successfully worked as a PR consultant since graduating from Cardiff University with a Masters in International Relations.  She has managed national and international PR campaigns for an array of household names.

Shazia is now CEO of Peachy Pink, which specialises in producing ladies underwear. Her company has fast become a household name as she supplies her products to Britain’s biggest department store, Debenhams.  Peachy Pink is set to distribute to retailers across the globe over the next year and Shazia has already been nominated for a national entrepreneur of the year award.

Shazia was born and educated in South Wales and made political history as the first Asian woman to address a Welsh Conservative Party conference.  She has also previously stood as a council candidate and  came up with the idea of improving communications within the party in Wales by producing a Welsh Conservative newsletter, which she wrote, edited and compiled for several months.

Shazia has been a member of the party for a number of years. She has always had an interest in politics and as such she beat off competition from hundreds of applicants to be selected onto a political mentoring scheme run by Operation Black Vote which went onto win a Channel 4 Hansard political award.

Recently, she was part of the team of twenty from the party that took part in Project Maja, the Conservatives international social action project in Bosnia headed up by Baroness Warsi the Shadow Minister for Social Action and Community Cohesion.  The project saw the team build a house for a refugee family, refurbish a classroom in a local school and turn it into an IT Suite and construct a football pitch. She has always been actively involved in work in the community and was recently handpicked by the American Government to take part in a programme on community activism in Washington DC.
