Diva Cosmetics
Emma's first company was Diva Cosmetics. Diva Cosmetics was focused solely on developing "own-brand" colour cosmetics for non-traditional cosmetics outlets. Her customers were well known UK high-street names, including New Look, Wallis, Claire's Accessories, Mothercare, Monsoon's Accessorize, British Home Stores, and George at Asda. Within the first year, the company had a healthy turnover of £1 million in the first year of trading. Within four years Emma sold Diva Cosmetics at a substantial profit.
Emma talks about her experience with Diva Cosmetics throughout her book, "BOOM! 7 disciplines to CONTROL, GROW & ADD IMPACT to your business". She attributes the success of her company to the application of her 7 Business Disciplines.
