❀ Entrepreneurship : Successful Female Entrepreneur. Cath Kidston
The Londoner waited until the age of 45 to found her self-titled company, having spent her early years as a shop owner specializing in second-hand furniture. The creation of Cath Kidston Ltd, which sells vintage clothing and home furnishing, has been the making of Kidston, enjoying huge success during a worldwide recession -- and in 2010 she sold the company to investors, netting herself a cool £25 million while retaining a place on the board of directors. A year after stepping down from the Cath Kidston Group when it had a market value of £250m, Cath founded a new solo venture, JOY OF PRINT, a creative design studio, in 2017. She is a trustee of the charity Fine Cell Work and is involved with a number of small start-up businesses.
