Bianca became known as a public face after an excellent performance on the BBC business competition, The Apprentice in 2014. She initially pitched the idea to redefine nude hosiery via her brand Bianca Miller London and has since taken it from idea to reality, including being awarded ‘Forbes 30 under 30’ status and added to the FT EMpower list for her work. Bianca’s desire to change the ‘nude’ landscape had her labelled in the media as a ‘women’s fashion visionary’. 

She is an in-demand public speaker and was awarded a Power Profile in 2016 as one of the most important leaders on LinkedIn out of 20 million UK members. Recognised as one of Empower 2024 Top 100 Future Leaders, she holds a plethora of awards, titles and is often regarded as a leader in the women-led business space. In 2017 she co-authored the bestselling book Self Made: The Definitive Guide to Business Start-up Success, to help others on their personal brand and business journey. She has since developed a mentoring programme which sees her and co-author/husband Byron Cole mentor over 1,000 entrepreneurs, helping them to scale their business to 6-7 figures. She also provides coaching and consulting services to individuals and organisations. 

In 2019, Bianca appeared as the expert business advisor in Channel 4 show Save Well, Spend Better in a 6-part series to help members of the public with their financial dilemmas. Bianca’s second book The Business Survival Kit published by Penguin Random House in 2021 became a ‘Sunday Times Bestseller’ in two categories in its first week of publication. The book chronicles tips to help every busy professional and entrepreneur not only survive but thrive in business, covering topics like imposter syndrome, anxiety, goal setting, romantic relationships, financials, stakeholder management, networking etc. Her third book Rich Forever: What They DIDN’T Teach You About Money, Finance and Investment at School was published with the Hachette group in October 2023 and quickly became her third bestselling book. 

However, her work does not stop there – she continues to work with organisations to inspire men and women alike to believe in their dreams but moreover to understand the action required to make them a reality!
