Laura is my neice she had a mastectomy in January due to cancer. She lost her hair through chemotherapy. The news has been good that she is cancer free although she has got to have more surgery this year. Laura has been such a strong brave lady who has continued to look after her 3 children even on her bad days. I think a Riley makeover will give a big lift after such a hard 18 months.

Jenny is my best friend even though we are on different sides of the Atlanta. She has been my Rock when my marriage broke up, I had challenges living on my own and starting a business. She comes from a poorer childhood and such she hardly ever spends money on herself. She put everyone in front of herself and only bought clothes for herself when we found your boutique. Please choose Jenny so she can feel as special as the rest of us see her.

Dear team Riley I would really love my colleague Jean to win this fabulous prize in recognition of all her hard work over the last 2 years supporting not only staff and patients in the NHS but also visiting and providing infection control support and training to more than 200 care homes across Birmingham throughout the pandemic, helping the homes to provide the best care possible for their residents.

Jean works tirelessly, always putting others first and continuously encouraging staff to be the best they can be. Jean is always kind and considerate to others with nothing being too much trouble. Jean also supports and promotes the Riley brand whenever she can and is always complimentary to the Riley models regularly supporting the live shows .

I feel it is now time for Jean to receive some special attention. I believe Jean is worthy of this truly wonderful prize to thank her for all that she has done and continues to do and I absolutely know she would be over the moon to win and would where her Riley with great pride. 

Katrine is such an amazing mum, wife, daughter and friend who cares for everyone around her, always putting them first before herself. For several years, Katrine has been the main carer for her mum as well as supporting her own children who have suffered with mental health issues, more so since COVID. Whatever life throws at her, Katrine is on top of it, through thick and thin, never stopping still. My wonderful dear friend really deserves a makeover, to re-discover herself and have some well deserved ‘me time’ if only for a short while. Katrine would embrace the whole experience and look fabulous in the clothes you style her in, I’d love to see her win.

Diane is the most caring and supportive person I know. She really glows from the inside, but struggles with so many self esteem challenges that most of the time she spends hating herself and her body. Having the perfect wardrobe to flatter and make her feel great would be a huge step forward in her day to day mindset. She deserves all of the attention showered on her as she tries to fix and make sure everyone around her is taken care of even when she is not taking care of herself. She puts everyone ahead of her needs and wants just to make sure they are happy. She is always trying to see how to support other women in business to grow and support themselves, creating groups and connecting women from around the world to support each other. She really is a gem of a person and advocates for all.

Most of all she is an amazing person and she deserves all of the things in the world, I couldn't ask for a better best friend or business partner
