A Wishaw woman who launched her own beauty business after decades of working in offices has scooped another prestigious industry award.
Natalie Kelso, a mum-of-two, spent two decades employed in a variety of administration roles in offices but admits she never really enjoyed the work.
She was working from home during lockdown but lost her job, after a period of study decided to take the plunge and launch her own business, Brazilian Booty Lift Lanarkshire Ltd.
The entrepreneur has now been recognised for her outstanding achievements in the beauty industry.

“There were 15 categories and I was nominated in three of them. I hoped I might win one, but didn’t expect it to be the big one – which was amazing.
Natalie’s journey from business start-up until now has been nothing short of remarkable. In just over two and a half years, she has grown Brazilian Bootylift Lanarkshire Ltd into a thriving six-figure business, offering transformative services to her clients. Now, as she looks ahead to 2025, Natalie is preparing to launch sister business – Beauty Boss Lessons.
