“My business is my passion and I enjoy constantly nurturing it, growing it and seeing it thrive.

“Manufacturing on site in Whitby is a significant part of Féerie Telle, so much so that we’ve now introduced Handmade in Whitby, UK, to the label we sew onto each garment.”

Helen’s business, based at North Road in Whitby, has been shorlisted in two categories in the North East region:

* Fashion and Beauty Entrepreneur of the Year

* Made in the UK award

Judging for this year’s awards is currently ongoing.

Dates and details of the regional or national finals have not yet been released.

The awards programme was launched in 2012to shine a light on Great British entrepreneurs.
