About Penelope Colins
Meet Penelope Colins – entrepreneur, coach, and founder of Colins OftPerks. Learn about her experience and passion for business education.
Penelope’s Story
Penelope Colins is a British entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience building and consulting for small and medium-sized businesses across the UK and Europe. After launching three successful startups of her own, she realized how many entrepreneurs struggle not because of a lack of ambition – but because they lack structured, practical guidance. That realization became the foundation for Colins OftPerks, where she now teaches others to avoid the mistakes she once made.
Teaching Philosophy
Penelope’s courses are built on the principle of “learning by doing.” Every module includes interactive tasks, live discussion, and individual feedback. She believes in developing strategic thinking, financial awareness, and leadership through experience – not memorization. Students often say her mentorship feels like having a business partner who guides you without taking control.
Achievements & Credentials
Penelope holds a Master’s Degree in Business Strategy from the University of London, is an accredited SME Advisor, and a frequent guest speaker at entrepreneurship events throughout Europe. Her programs have been featured in The Guardian Business Series and Startup Europe Summit.
