Gillian Moore Brady, Managing Director of Fuschia Cosmetics, talks to IB about work, family and her favourite things


 I ended up in the beauty industry because…I felt that there was a gap in the market for a dedicated store selling make-up, offering a personal service with great products. Make-up has always been a huge love of mine so owning my own make-up brand is the ultimate dream come true!


 If I wasn’t in the beauty industry I would…Probably be working in the area of business and finance as that’s the area I studied in (But I’d be dreaming of going out on my own!).


 The best thing about my job is… Meeting people and seeing the business grow year on year. I love the constant challenge of improving the brand and coming up with new and innovative ideas.


 An average day for me is…Getting up at 7am and getting the kids ready and then I go to work and get a break! We start each day with a staff meeting to map out that day and the rest of the week. I spend time working with our wonderful customers, with the marketing, staff issues, brand development and any other issue that arises. To grow in this market you have to be constantly coming up with offers that customers will respond to.


 My ideal weekend would be… Chilling with my family on the beach or in the park and then sleeping in for a bit on Sunday, if the babies will let me!


 My favourite book is…Anything by Jilly Cooper.


 My favourite film is…The Blindside.


 The most famous person I have met is…Fergal Quinn – I have always admired his retail success and I love his TV programme.


 My favourite part of the world is… Maui, Hawaii.

 I could not live without…Diet Coke and my husband.


 My favourite beauty treatment is… A massage by Avril in Haven Holistic in Drogheda, she’s amazing!


When growing up, my role model was…My parents, they were both extremely hardworking entrepreneurs.


 I would like to be remembered as…An honest, genuine, loving gal that gave her all and did it with a smile!
