Following a 10 year career in-house at Revlon, Emma seized the opportunity to nurse her entrepreneurial itch and Diva Cosmetics was born. The business rapidly became the leading supplier of own labeled colour cosmetics to the majority of high street chains including New Look, Monsoon Accessorize, River Island, and George@Asda. Emma set up Diva Cosmetics from her kitchen table when her eldest son was a new-born. The business rapidly grew to accommodate a full-time team of twelve with offices in central Bournemouth. She sold the business in 2003 to spend more time with her family.
