SIAN SUTHERLAND

SIAN SUTHERLAND, Mama Mio has been awarded Best Body Shaping Brand by Harpers Bazaar, Best Cellulite Cream by Elle and has grown to distribution of over 800 stores and 5 star spas worldwide. Sian’s role as Chief Founding Partner includes product development, brand and corporate strategy.
We won one Michelin star in the first year and the newcomer of the year award. It was an extremely useful experience for the rest of my life. The restaurant business is a very tough business. Margins are tight, emotions run high.

We raised seed capital to fund our launch. Then last year , we recognised that for us to go at the speed needed, for us to own this sector of the market, we needed good boardmember experience, in particular with a US focus, and we needed more finance.
There will be turnover in excess of 3 million dollars this year, and our target is 7 million next year. 30 % turnover is through the internet.
