  • A non-negotiable listen

    I listen to these episodes weekly and look forward to each one. Nicky’s interviewing style means that she asks the questions you want to know and finds all sorts of things out about her guests. The range of women here are inspirational and I’ve learnt something from each of them. Highly recommend.

#127: Pioneering Beauty with Millie Kendall OBE: From Ruby & Millie to British Beauty Council
Q: How did you approach turning beauty into a truthful, sustainable industry in terms of messaging and products?
We emphasized practical, consumer-friendly packaging, transparency, and a no-nonsense glossary of claims through initiatives like the Planet Positive Beauty Guide, aiming to cut through misleading marketing and build lasting trust.

Q: What led you to found the British Beauty Council and push for a unified industry voice?

#127: Pioneering Beauty with Millie Kendall OBE: From Ruby & Millie to British Beauty Council
Q: Can you talk to me first about your earliest memories of work going back in time?

Q: What happened after your Instagram drawings started gaining traction, and how did that affect your career trajectory?
Her posts led to broader recognition, a government Points of Light Award, and eventually book publishing opportunities that aligned with her clinical work, while she balanced motherhood and career growth.
