Michelle, 45, was the powerful founder of British underwear brand Ultimo until 2015 when she sold 80% of the company. Now, the Baroness has set up a new business venture, Michelle Mone Interiors.
The entrepreneur, who established her previous business Ultimo nearly 20 years ago, has made a huge transition over the years, moving from designing bras to renovating home interiors.
Her political career has even kicked-off, having been introduced into the House of Lords in 2015, and being appointed to conduct a two part government review for the Prime Minister David Cameron on business start-ups in deprived areas.
Despite having been in the 'Remain' camp during the referendum, Michelle said she respects the British public’s decision.

Michelle Mone: We have to face the brick walls of Brexit
Like many, Michelle said the impact Brexit will have on business, like her own, is hard to say right now.
She said: “It is hard to say at this stage. No one really knows and that’s the issue right now, it’s the fear of the unknown.
“We must be resilient and adapt to the changes as much as we can with the support of the Government.”
Design and interiors have long been a big part of Michelle’s success, from the intricate design process of ‘the perfect bra’ with Ultimo, a jewellery range with QVC, to personally renovating the interiors of her own homes.
