It was a decision to monitise her fashion blog that allowed Amber Venz Box to leave her former career as a personal shopper, but she soon come to discover she’d started something of a tech revolution. Frustrated that her blog was generating sales for retailers, but not for her, Venz Box and her then-boyfriend (now-husband) Baxter Box launched rewardStyle; a monetisation solution for retailers and content creators.

From a one-woman operation in 2011, her business has grown into a global network of 16,000 influencers, generating £1b USD in sales for its 4,000 retail partners and over half a million brands. A true force to be reckoned with, Venz Box has ranked on the Business of Fashion 500 power list, Forbes' 30 Under 30, and been named Glamour’s ‘Woman of the Year’ for technology.

It’s not often a business mind comes along and creates a brand with such style, customer loyalty and originally, but to do it twice, is nothing short of a success story. Annoushka Ducas has done just that. Launching Links of London with her husband John in 1990 – which became one of the most popular jewellery brands of the nineties and noughties - she sold the company and went on to launch her eponymous label Annoushka.

Surprisingly Annoushka fell into jewellery design when helping her mother source gifts for 60 chefs. Inspired to turn pictures of fish into cufflinks. Twenty-five years later and her designs are now worn by the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez and the Duchess of Cambridge,

From selling a multi-million pound company to a new business in a digital age and being awarded an MBE, here’s Annoushka Ducas’ Success Story.
