Leeds entrepreneur Savannah Roqaa, who founded the Savvy Baker brand, has been fined by magistrates for a traffic offence.

A BMW registered to Miss Roqaa, 26, was clocked exceeding the speed limit through the village of Huby, near Harrogate, in March and she was contacted and asked to provide details of who had been driving.

When she did not respond, on April 27 North Yorkshire Police added a charge of failing to give information and the case was sent to Harrogate Magistrates Court.

At a hearing on Monday, the speeding offence was withdrawn but Miss Roqaa, of Street Lane in Roundhay, was fined £660 for the disclosure charge.

Savvy Baker began as a lockdown business, when Miss Roqaa would bake in the kitchen of her apartment and deliver boxes of brownies, at first to friends before expanding to the general public. She has since found commercial premises, taken on staff and opened her first cafe close to her home in Roundhay.
