Madeleine Avery of Brighton and Hove Sixth Form College won our Chichester and South England Heat and she spoke about her local hero: Anita Roddick.

 

 

Dame Anita Roddick, DBE (23 October 1942 - 10 September 2007) was a British businesswoman, human rights activist and environmental campaigner, best known as the founder of The Body Shop, a cosmetics company producing and retailing beauty products that shaped ethical consumerism. The company was one of the first to prohibit the use of ingredients tested on animals and one of the first to promote fair trade with third world countries.
