A Shropshire businesswoman is celebrating after being appointed regional vice president of US botanicals brand, Arbonne, which saw her take delivery of a brand new sports car.

Karyl Iles has reached the senior sales position after only 18 months with the natural skin care brand, and in recognition of her achievements was presented with a personalised white Mercedes SLK at a special ceremony.

The official celebration took place at Rookery Hall in Nantwich and was attended by Iain Pritchard, national vice president for Arbonne UK.

Karyl, who already ran her own training company alongside husband Chris, joined the organisation after learning about its ambitious plans for the UK market, and realising the potential business opportunities. After only 12 months she had grown the business to a team of more than 60 consultants.

Karyl said: “I am absolutely delighted to have reached this level within Arbonne, and it is wonderful being able to celebrate with friends and colleagues. Being presented with a brand new sports car is also a fantastic bonus.

“I have worked extremely hard over the past year and a half to get to this stage, but I also couldn’t have done it without the support and dedication of the team around me.

“The Arbonne business model is unique and really does help people to achieve their dreams of success.

“It offers an unrivalled opportunity for anybody looking to run their own business in a flexible and supported way, allowing them to work as many or as little hours as they wish to fit in.”
