Linda Bennett is an English-Icelandic clothing designer and entrepreneur, the founder of fashion retail chain LK Bennett

Linda Bennett reckons she inherited the financial sense of her father, a London retail entrepreneur, and the creativity of her mother, an Icelandic sculptor. The founder of the LK Bennett fashion group grew up in the North London suburbs, and worked on the shop floor of Whistles and Joseph before spotting a gap in the market for an outlet selling well-made shoes for an affluent public. She opened her first shop in Wimbledon and now has stores on Brook Street and King's Road, and concessions in Harvey Nichols, Selfridges and Fenwick. She has a store in Paris, and plans more in New York, LA and Japan. LK Bennett made a £1 million profit on £27 million sales in 2002-03. Bennett owns it all, and she appointed BDO Stoy Hayward in November 2004 to find strategic investors. She wants to concentrate on design, handing over the daily management to someone else. External investment would also enable Bennett to expand the business abroad.
