Despite having suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI), Herefordshire born Hannah Wick displays passion and gusto that’s hard to find. A former buyer at Harvey Nichols, London based Wick now blogs about “Wickles’ wonderful world” and shares thoughts on “TBI, fashion, dining and travel”. She is a true inspiration and in 2015, the BBC produced a revealing feature on her journey towards recovery.

I do not know her but what an inspiration. Hannah has plainly shown courage and determination and she truly deserves her place on your list of influence.
Barbara February 22, 2016 At 8:28 am

I know Hannah through my daughter who also had a TBI, they were featured in the same documentary on BBC3 and later BBC1 in 2015; she is a true inspiration to others. Well done Hannah, I am so pleased for you and I shall follow your blog xx
Glenmore Trenear-Harvey February 22, 2016 At 9:12 am

Hannah is a joy. So determined and with a lovely sense of humour. I met her, of course, at one of your shindigs Matthew. Glad to see she has gone from strength to strength.
Charles Mitford Cust February 22, 2016 At 11:29 am

Lovely gentle unpretentious girl, she was always at Matthew’s house parties and good company. Not many like her around.
Julie sims February 22, 2016 At 12:30 pm

Hannah cannot help but be a true inspiration to every generation, it takes a unique person to be able to do this in such a positive and selfless way. I will also be following your blog.

Thank you Matthew for this extremely kind post of yours. And thank you for all of your lovely comments! I greatly appreciate support from people like yourselves. Xx
Angelo V February 22, 2016 At 5:46 pm

Hannah Wick is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. Kind, generous, modest and always a light to others. She deserves every happiness. Great things are in store for her and the people she shines upon.
Alexandra Mary Naylor February 22, 2016 At 6:16 pm

Lovely gorgeous Hannah, an inspiration to us all. You go girl! Love and friendship always.
Peter Wayde February 22, 2016 At 7:46 pm

I hope she continues to make progress: she certainly seems to have the determination to do so.
Brave girl
