Who's Behind It?

This must have a secret backer but who...

Usual Daily Mail article. £7m turnover, but what's the profit!

[Frimley111R]

The Daily Fail gets worse every time I see it! Firstly, great grammar '..who left school with NO GCSEs....' How exactly do you leave with NO GCSEs?! And '...The blonde told FEMAIL....' So she is quoted as a woman's hair colour..' FFS, utterly ste journalism.

Anyway, this woman went from zero to 22 employees and £7m t/o in ONE YEAR after working in a nursery and starting from her bedroom? Hmmm, where's the other 99% of the story?

EDIT, bit more:

These things are rarely all they seem.

Compulsory striking off just avoided and extension of accounting period doesn't say to me a booming company.

"The brand specialises in purse-friendly dresses for women up to size 24"

Size 24, what is she selling, Gazebos on eBay or something?

[anothernameitist]

Like how they use the image of Cheshire.

Its Stockport - Manchester I suppose then!!!

Burst one and started another https://www.duedil.com/company/09408051/want-that-... Looks like she is the only owner but clearly has a backer with business knowledge.

Looking at their social media it's quite clear that they have paid for their followers, their likes to follows ratio is atrocious.

Here's the other shareholder: https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/officers/bb10HY...

He seems to have paid her ca. £200,000 for his 40 shares (2/7 of the business).

Brilliant.

[uber]

Ah I never spotted that shareholder must have been looking at the wrong co.

So its a case of well targeted facebook & short run contract manufactured clothing.

[twoblacklines]

My guess is she found him on seekingarrangement.

Agreed, I could create company turning over that sort money easily. Just sell £10 notes on ebay for £9 each buy it now (700,000 available). I now run a company with £7m turnover.

Just in case the Daily Mail are reading this...my house is worth 350k

I think you'll find you have a turnover of approximately £6,300,000

Only if you sell them all.

As a clothing retailer I can inform you that there is good business to be done on the larger women's clothing.

He would. (I realise it's not a real suggestion)

However from experience, selling currency as buy-it-now on Ebay attracts scammers like nothing else

[twoblacklines]

What about ebay fees, postage, and returns? I say returns, I mean when people want a refund but don't send the (same) product back...oh you gotta love ebay/amazon.

So probably looking at 6m revenue, no profit, big loss.

As they say; turnover for vanity, profit for sanity.
