A Personal Care Product Manufacturing company, Avon UK has appointed a famous entrepreneur and the investor of Dragons’ Den, Sara Davies MBE as new Chief Inspiration Officer. The firm specialises in Beauty, Micro-entrepreneurship, Supporting Women, and Inspiring Careers with over 10,000 employees.

On her appointment, Sara stated, “I am thrilled to join Avon UK as its first Chief Inspiration Officer and to work with both budding and existing Avon Reps who have the hunger to build and run their own business, on their own terms. The research certainly chimes with many of the barriers I came up against when starting up my own business, and I know they persist today and can seem insurmountable.”

Adding to the statement, she said, “The world of work has changed. The rigid 9-5, which is notoriously difficult for mums, has been replaced by more flexible work and being an Avon Rep offers women the option to put the hours in whenever suits them. The country is filled with women from all walks of life with entrepreneurial flair and potential, so unlocking this would pay dividends for the economy and give it a much-needed boost.
