A Huddersfield businesswoman who sells Swedish cosmetics, skincare and fragrances by global beauty company Oriflame was among the finalists for an award from the Direct Selling Association.
Grace Bylinka, of Birchencliffe, is a regional manager for Oriflame and has been working for the company for seven years after joining as a consultant in 2007. Her passion for selling and managing people has led her to become a regional manager responsible for a team of more than 500 people and a turnover of £500,000 a year.
Grace was nominated in the Direct Seller of the Year category, which recognises an outstanding individual within a company whose performance is reflected in the sales achievements and role as an ambassador for the direct selling industry.
Grace, who is originally from Poland and moved to the UK in 2004 to improve her career prospects, joined Oriflame in 2007 as a part-time consultant and her success led her to quickly progress to regional manager level.
She currently holds the title of Home-based Business Woman of the Year after scooping the title at the 2013 Women in Business Awards, in association with networking group Forward Ladies.
