One of Debbie's earliest business ventures was the Flirtz clothes shop in Birmingham's prestigious North Western Arcade - a shopping mall known for its unique mix of small but high-end retail outlets.
Flirtz (pictured left) sold exclusive lines, but there was always a surprise in store for new customers - in the shape of a high-spirited parrot called Sid. Sid's speciality was telephone tones, but he would often stand stock still on his perch before unleashing a barrage of rings and beeps. Often Flirtz customers didn't even notice he was there until they heard him!
At Flirtz, Debbie's customers included Uri Geller's daughter. She was also responsible for the putting the shine into the garments of glam rock legends Roy Wood and Wizzard - earning herself the nickname 'The Glitz Queen'.

Another of Debbie's talents was hand-decorating horse-drawn carriages for a specialist Shropshire firm, The Wellington Carriage Co. She would apply the finishing touches to paintwork and upholstery, giving each carriage its own luxurious character. She has worked on Governess Carts, Omnibuses, Landaus and State Coaches, many of which have been hired as a stylish and romantic alternative to limousines by couples looking to add that extra-special touch to their wedding day. Some of the work was so intricate that it required up to 30 coats of paint, and preparing the surfaces has left Debbie with a quirk of her own - the job was so tough on her hands that she no longer has noticeable fingerprints!
The company - and Debbie's handywork - were even featured on ITV's Central News.For more information about the range of services offered by The Wellington Carriage Co, call 01952 242 495 - and see the images below for some of the sumptuous carriages on offer.
