Debbie Moore OBE (born Dorothy Moore, 31 May 1946), is an English model and business woman who is most noted as the founder of Pineapple Dance Studios and its associated clothing brand. She was the first woman to float a company on the London Stock Exchange and in 1984 was an early winner of the prestigious Veuve Clicquot Business Woman of The Year Award.
Debbie Moore was born and raised in Urmston, near Manchester, the daughter of Hazel, a clerk, and Ron Moore, a plumber. She has one brother. She attended the Stretford Grammar School in Granby Road, Stretford, Manchester.
Aged 14 she suffered from whooping cough, which kept her out of school for several months, and after her recovery she joined a local commercial college. She returned to commercial college to complete her studies after winning the competition. In the opening line of her book, When a Woman Means Business, she wrote, “I have lost count of the number of times I’ve been asked how someone like me who left school at fifteen without an O’ level to my name, and no business background, could start up and develop a successful business.”
