Eco venture forerunner, Laura Rudoe, founder of the evolve organic beauty range, has been recognised for her business success at the recent prestigious annual Mumpreneur UK award ceremony.  Laura, 33, was chosen out of over 700 entries to win the ‘Best Green Business’ award. 

A panel of high profile business experts which included BBC’s Dragon Den star, Duncan Bannatyne, judged the awards.  On receiving the honour, Laura said,

“I’m very pleased the judges appreciated the strong green vision behind evolve and I’m truly thrilled to have won.  I set up the business as I knew I wanted to work for myself and, following a career as an ethical venture capitalist, was keen to build an eco brand which would benefit the consumer and the environment.” 

Laura has spent much of her career in the ethical space.  Following an MBA at Harvard Business School, she focused her work on the challenges faced by the growing movement of businesses seeking to bring ethical products into the mainstream and was instrumental in developing the nude skincare range. 

evolve was launched when Laura found a niche for affordable yet desirable organic toiletries. This led her into creating her own range of beautiful and effective eco smart organic products for the face, body and hair.

The award win comes at a pivotal time for the business – this week evolve launched its new look website to coincide with the re-designed packaging and new product launches.  www.evolvebeauty.co.uk.
