    Sarah is the Founder & Chief Executive of Bravissimo Ltd, a multi-channel lingerie and clothing retailer. 

    Sarah started the business in 1995 following her own frustrating attempts to buy lingerie when her bra size increased when she was pregnant.  Her aim was to provide a really good choice of bras in big cup sizes and to provide an environment where big boobed women could celebrate their curves and feel positive about their figures.  When it started, Bravissimo was purely a mail order business and Sarah ran it from her front room in partnership with a friend.  After two years Sarah bought her friend’s share and continued to run Bravissimo on her own.

    History

    [edit]

    Founder Sarah Tremellen MBE[5] began as a freelance TV and radio researcher for the BBC, quitting after eight months at the age of 25 to have a baby. Whilst pregnant, Tremellen found it difficult to find a good choice of bras that would fit her when she went up to a G Cup.[6]

    In 1995 after giving birth, Tremellen and her friend Hannah Griffiths tried to do something about it. They decided to take an eight-week business course which culminated in presenting a business plan to their local bank manager. Their presentation won them a £10,000 bank loan to help them start Bravissimo.[7&#
