When Paige Louise Williams borrowed £20,000 from her nana to open her own beauty salon, she had high hopes albeit no business plan.
She left school with no qualifications and had recently quit her job on the MAC beauty counter to become a freelance make-up artist.
Fast forward 10 years and her beauty empire P.Louise has evolved into a household brand loved by millions around the world with a projected revenue of £138m this year.
"I hope that anyone that steps into my world realises that anything is possible," said the 32-year-old entrepreneur, who grew up on a council estate in Droylsden in the Tameside area of Greater Manchester.
"Your background doesn't define who you are."
