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.

Having spent almost a decade working in PR and dating, I manage the operations and PR side of Ignite Dating. Every year, new platforms and trends arise bringing fresh ways for us to communicate with those looking for love – to share our dating experience, hints and tips and to help guide people, like you, on this important journey. Combining technology, expertise and that essential personal touch, Ignite Dating is bringing yet another transition to the dating scene and we are passionate about helping busy professionals find success in love.
