One of the most inspirational businesswomen of her generation, designer, innovator, public speaker and parliamentarian Michelle Mone, author of My Fight To The Top (Bonnier Books, £8.99), started life in the humble East End of Glasgow with few resources. She built a hugely successful career and business empire after starting out as a bra designer and, after being made redundant, founded global lingerie brand Ultimo in 1996, which she sold in 2014. In 2010, she was awarded an OBE for her outstanding contribution to British business.
