Teagle’s company Slap Holds manufactures climbing holds for indoor climbing walls. The 30-year-old former journalist, works in partnership with her husband Dylan Fletcher after moving to the area because it boasts the largest climbing community in the country. Dylan, who accepted a runners -up £250 cheque on behalf of Lucy said: "We’re right on the edge of the Peak District here, so we knew we had to be based in South Yorkshire to be at the heart of the climbing community.

Winterhill School in
Rotherham.
