Multi-talented and multi-award-winning Michelle Mone is one of the UK’s most successful self-made women. She’s not only the ultra-glamorous Baroness of Mayfair, but also founded the country’s leading designer lingerie line, Ultimo Brands International, promoted by highprofile names including Helena Christensen, Penny Lancaster and Mel B.
She’s also a global ambassador for Bentley and British Airways, a reality TV star and has a highly-successful jewellery collection for QVC. Now, she’s set to conquer the world of interiors with her immaculate interior designs.
She talks to Angela Sara West about her expanding business empire, her global property portfolio, her top tips for entrepreneurs and her beauty advice for women over 40.
Baroness Mone of Mayfair is among the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs. Despite growing up in an impoverished part of Glasgow, Scotland, and leaving school at 15 with no qualifications after her father became ill, she lives a life of luxury and enjoys an expansive, and ever expanding, multi-million-pound business empire spanning multiple industries.
Her rise to fame and fortune began with the ultra-successful lingerie brand she launched in London’s Selfridges in 1999. She went on to create the award-winning fake tanning range, UTan, and a best-selling jewellery range for QVC. She now has a new string to her business bow… Launched last month, her latest venture, the eponymous Michelle Mone Interiors, is a truly international one, offering high-end, bespoke interior design services around the world.
“From the intricate creation of ‘the perfect bra’ with Ultimo and my jewellery range, to personally renovating the interiors of my own homes to an exceptionally high standard, design and interiors has always been my passion,” she tells me. “Although I am labelled an entrepreneur, global speaker, author, innovator and parliamentarian, being a designer has long been a big part of my life and, therefore, my success,” she explains.
