Yorks woman entrepreneur shortlisted for top award
A LEEDS entrepreneur who developed production of ethically-sound skin products from her home has been shortlisted for a prestigious award for successful businesswomen.
The First Women Awards are held in association with Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets and supported by Britain's most influential business organisation, the Confederation of British Industry.
Now in their fifth year, the awards celebrate the increasing contribution of genuine "glass ceiling" breakers to the UK's economic and social fabric.
Dr Mah Hussain-Gambles, founder of skincare brand Saaf Pure Skincare, has been shortlisted for the scheme's Manufacturing Award. A pioneer of ethical skincare, Dr Mah formulated the first western beauty products to be both Halal and organically certified, from her home in Leeds.
A qualified homeopath and pharmacologist, her brand is now sold internationally.
The First Women Awards, whose patron is Sarah Brown, will be announced during a ceremony at the London Marriott, Grosvenor Square on June 11.
Diana Brightmore-Armour, CEO, Corporate Banking, Lloyds Banking Group said: "The First Women Awards are a real mark of recognition for Britain's trailblazing women. This years' shortlist is once again an incredible demonstration of the heights women from such diverse sectors and backgrounds are now reaching. More than ever, the UK needs such women to help lead the industries and develop the working practices of the future."
