Mrs Rawlinson Growing business


RESTORING hair really is a growth business and here in the heart of the Ribble Valley one com­


pany has taken a large slice of it. Dorothy Gleave Ltd manufactures “The Hair


Cream” and from a Salthil) industrial unit with a view of Pendle the company markets its product


worldwide. In 1989, Mrs Gleave and her daughter Susan


travelled to Belgium for a major advertising launch to promote their new “Gleave Hairline


System” throughout the EEC. The deal was worth in excess of E1m and has


since meant thousands more satisfied custom­ ers joining those in the Middle East, Australia, South Africa, America and Japan. At present the market is extremely strong in


Europe, with much of the demand coming from Germany. The recipe, handed to Mrs Gleave by her


grandmother, contains best Navy rum along with other secret ingredients. Ten years later, Mrs Gleave is dealing with a


business conglomerate which has included the Japanese Mitsubishi Corporation.
