VALE AM Jane Hutt met with two entrepreneurial sisters from Barry to see how their vegan beauty business is doing.
With more than 200,000 Instagram followers the cruelty-free and vegan business, Spectrum Brushes, developed by Sophie and Hannah Pycroft, is going from strength to strength.
During her meeting with the sisters at Academy Coffee House, Ms Hutt said: "With their business now going global, the award winning sisters are determined to stick to their roots in Barry and will be speaking at a Commonwealth Conference with me in Cardiff in April, to share the key features of their business success.
"They are an inspiration and I was proud to meet and congratulate them today."
