Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham has topped a business magazine's list of Britain's 100 foremost entrepreneurs.
Mother-of-four Beckham, who shot to fame as Posh Spice before marrying David Beckham, beat heavyweights such as Sir James Dyson to lead a list compiled by Management Today (MT).
The 40-year-old's first fashion boutique in London's Mayfair opened in September and her Victoria Beckham brand has seen revenue grow by 2,900% in five years from a turnover of £1 million to £30million this year, the magazine said.
Philip Beresford, the man behind the Sunday Times Rich List, wrote in MT: "It's her finely tuned business acumen that wins her the top spot."
Two other fashion retailers made it into the top 10 - Mahmud Kamani, of Boohoo.com, was third, and Julian Dukerton, of Supergroup, home of the Superdry brand, fourth.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
