Baroness Michelle Mone

Baroness Michelle Mone is a prominent British businesswoman and former Conservative peer, best known for founding the lingerie brand Ultimo in the late 1990s. Her entrepreneurial success led her to be appointed as the government's 'entrepreneurship tsar' in 2015. However, she has faced significant controversy, particularly concerning her involvement with a company linked to a £122 million breach of contract for supplying PPE during the Covid pandemic. Mone has recently admitted to benefiting financially from this venture, contradicting her previous claims, and has been embroiled in legal disputes regarding the quality of the PPE supplied.
