Michele Mone OBE

Michelle is a motivational and inspirational speaker, probably best known as the flamboyant creator of the Ultimo bra and founder and co-owner of MJM International, a multi-million pound lingerie company.

She is straight talking and gives a genuine down to earth personal account of how she built up her company. She speaks passionately about her struggle to succeed against all odds, shares funny anecdotes and provides practical advice to budding entrepreneurs.

She won the ‘Business Woman of the Year’ award at the Corporate Elite Awards in October 2000, and in November of that year also won the Sunday Mail ‘Great Scot of the Year Business Award’.
In 2001 HRH Prince Charles asked her to join the Board of Directors of The Princes Scottish Youth Business Trust. In November 2002 she was awarded an Honorary Degree, Doctor of the University, by Paisley University and in November 2010 she was awarded an OBE.
In May 2003 Management Today voted Michelle one of the top 30 woman entrepreneurs in the UK alongside the likes of Martha Lane Fox and Stella McCartney.
Everything Michelle does stems from her ethos of hard work and listening to her customer's needs. She has achieved a remarkable level of success to date,  juggling the demands of her business with bringing up three young children - and she doesn’t think she has made it yet!
