MD and Founder

MICHELLE BEGY

After working with one of the UK’s largest introduction agencies, I realised that the dating world was going through another transition. Educated and successful people, like you, were bored of labour intensive online dating, had perhaps found that database matching wasn’t quite hitting the right note and wanted to be more prescriptive as to what they wanted in a partner. Whilst attraction is important, lifestyle match can be just as much so. Through listening to our clients, Ignite was born.

Matchmaker

JESSICA JONES

After several years working as a recruitment consultant, I wanted a change of lifestyle. Michelle and I are good friends and I loved her drive and passion, so naturally wanted to be involved when she launched Ignite. I still get excited when a client has a match and it’s great when they leave us – as that’s when we know we have done our job well.

Matchmaker

SHELLEY LAWLOR

Having spent the previous 23 years within a military environment, in a trusted senior management role, Shelley worked alongside high ranking Officers, overseeing the delivery of a military contract. In addition, she regularly supported the planning and hosting of VIP functions, including Royal visits. Discretion, professionalism and confidentiality was imperative in her role; all of which comes as second nature to Shelley.

I got in touch a few years ago, when I was new to the dating scene after being in a long term marriage of 24 years. Dating had changed considerably compared to my younger days. I didn’t want to do online dating and I preferred to go to a matchmaking company instead. I cannot sing Ignite’s praises loud enough. They have been absolutely brilliant at helping me navigate the dating game, and given me confidence. I have met some wonderful guys. Ignite is an intuitive matchmaker, very experienced in their field. Ignite genuinely care about you and are passionate about their business. They have always been helpful and supportive and given me guidance when I have needed it. It has been a pleasure working with them.

Michelle introduced me to my partner five months into my membership, and things are going very well. She understood my needs as a busy professional; she provided regular updates, was patient when I was too busy to respond, and where necessary, took the initiative in progressing potential introductions, but always seeking my consent before confirming any actions. Michelle also understood what I was looking for in a partner, and has a real insight on what makes people tick, which helped enormously when assessing potential introductions.
