Remember Ruby and Millie? This is that Millie! AKA Millie Kendall OBE, beauty entrepreneur and founder of the British Beauty Council.
In this episode Millie talks to me about growing up in her hairdresser father’s salon, her rebellious school years, and building a career by focusing on communications, marketing, formulation, and packaging after realising she couldn’t cut hair. She discusses launching Shu Uemura, Aveda and Tweezerman in the UK, co-creating Ruby & Millie with innovations like tool-attached products and a premium-to-mass distribution model that was pioneering in the industry.
We also discuss Millie's desire to found the British Beauty Council, which she did in in 2018 - to give a £28bn sector a unified voice, improve its reputation, and drive transparency and sustainability through research and initiatives.
Millie is a giant of her industry with loads of insight - enjoy!
