Michelle Mone grew up in the East End of Glasgow. In October 1996, whilst attending a dinner dance with Michael, Michelle was wearing a very uncomfortable cleavage enhancing bra. This was when she decided that she could invent a bra that was more comfortable, visually pleasing, and would create more cleavage.MJM International Ltd was set up by Michelle and Michael in November 1996.
It took nearly three years of research and development, testing many different methods of cleavage enhancement to come up with the Ultimo bra, a bra which enhances the bust and cleavage without the discomfort normally associated with such products.
The first ever Ultimo shop opened in Glasgow in Debenhams Silverburn on the 25th October
2007. The shop openings have coincided with the launch of new brand Ultimo D-G. Renowned for its lingerie solutions and unrivalled look, feel and comfort the collection includes perfectly fitting everyday bras, stunning fashion ranges, sexy boudoir collections and truly 'miracle' solutions, a first for the bigger cup woman. In addition to it’s jointly owned brands, MJM International currently supply Debenhams, Selfridges, House of Fraser, Next, Grattan, Littlewoods, Figleaves and ASOS along with a number of independent lingerie stores.
Michelle has now launched a new business called TrimSecrets. She had tried every diet on the market for 10 years and had felt miserable, tired and disappointed. She was then recommended to go and see one of the most renowned naturopaths in the world, Professor Jan de Vries and asked for his help. He told her that he was working on TrimSecrets for the past 5 years but was still missing a vital ingredient. A few months later, he found the missing ingredient and she began to trial TrimSecrets. Michelle lost over 5 stone in a year and her energy levels are at their highest. Michelle has achieved a remarkable level of success to date, juggling the demands of her business, together with bringing up 3 young children.
Her presentation promises to be uplifting!
