Notts Business Woman in Line for the Great British Fashion & Beauty Entrepreneur of the Year!
Fazane Fox founder of The Production Lab based in Kimberley, Nottingham is already an award winning designer and entrepreneur. She has just been shortlisted from a long list of nominations for the Fashion & Beauty Entrepreneur of the Year category at the regional finals of the Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Believed to have a combined economic contribution in excess of £60 billion, fashion and beauty are two behemoths of industry in the UK. From streetwear, sportswear and leisurewear to outdoor wear, high fashion, nightwear and accessories there is no shortage of exciting entrepreneurs stamping their mark on fashion. And the same goes for beauty, with brands staking a claim for their own niche in skincare, haircare, cosmetics, relaxation and fragrances.
At the finals in September the overall UK winner will be presented to the entrepreneur(s) who stands out from the crowd in two incredibly busy industries, offering something new and unique to the market.
Fazane said "I was absolutely blown away to make it to the midlands finals for this award. This year has been tough for everyone, so to get this when there has been a couple of times I genuinely thought I was going to lose my business has made all the long hours and fighting I've had to do to stay afloat worth it"
Joanne Clinch of Elephant in the Room a business based in Fazane's office building said "Well deserved in my opinion! Fazane is not only an amazing business woman but is such a caring and kind friend. A genuinely lovely woman. Well done!"
