hello! Canada's 2010 women of the year
The founder of Elizabeth Grant Skin Care is recognized for making a difference in Canada and the world
Toronto, ON- Elizabeth Grant, founder of Elizabeth Grant Skin Care, is honoured to have been selected as one of Hello! Canada’s 2010 Women of the Year. Elizabeth is featured, along with several other outstanding women, in the April 15, 2010 issue of the magazine. Hello! Canada is paying tribute to these women and their achievements that inspire others to strive for greatness.
The women that have been selected by Hello! Canada for the 2010 Women of the Year are both inspiring and outstanding. Hello! Canada considers Elizabeth Grant and her fellow honorees to be newsmakers, innovators, influencers and laudable individuals who are making a difference in the world and excel greatly within their respective fields. Ciara Hunt, Editor-in-Chief of Hello! Canada, says that Ms. Elizabeth Grant was selected with this honour because of “her Lifetime Achievement Awards and her meteoric rise to the top.”
Elizabeth Grant is in her late eighties and CEO of Elizabeth Grant International, a luxury skin care and cosmetics company. Elizabeth has been a successful female entrepreneur for over 50 years. She started her company in 1958, at a time when it was very unusual and difficult for women to start their own business. Using strong business acumen, creative ideas, and always keeping her goals and dreams in the forefront, she has built an incredibly successful company that is sold worldwide today. Through determination and perseverance she has grown the corporation from an employee of one to a company that employs over 100 full time workers in her state of the art facility located in Toronto, Canada.
Ms. Grant may be most recognizable from her television appearances promoting her namesake brand but that is not her only talent. She is also a playwright, a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, a philanthropist who invests a great deal of time and effort in non-profit organizations, and she is also professional lecturer who speaks on success. Elizabeth inspires her audience with stories of the difficulties and hardships she has faced and how she has accomplished her dreams and goals. She also speaks on the obstacles that come alongside being a woman with big dreams in the 1950’s to the different obstacles a woman faces in her vintage years. Elizabeth continues to be successful at an age when most retire. Elizabeth is the recipient of several major awards including: The Shopping Channel Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award, The Shopping Channel Shoppie Award Favourite Skin Care Line, The Shopping Channel Shoppie Award Favourite Canadian Line, and The Women's International Film & Television Showcase Lifetime Achievement Award 2009.
Of her latest honour, Elizabeth Grant said, “I would like to congratulate all the amazing women who were nominated in this special issue; I am honoured to be in a category with you. And thank you Hello! Canada. It is a privilege to be recognized as one of your 2010 Women of the Year.”
