A Durham mum and entrepreneur has turned a deeply personal experience into a fast-growing, sustainable fashion brand.
Michelle Kearney, 44, is the founder of Freya Lillie. She launched her fashion brand after her daughter was born three months prematurely.
Michelle, who is from Durham, knew when she was pregnant that she wanted to start her own business after spotting a gap in the market.
