Previously Director of Policy and Public Affairs at the National Hair and Beauty Federation, Victoria has more than fifteen years of experience influencing government policy and lobbying. During the pandemic she was instrumental in securing vital financial support and reliefs for the personal care sector across the four nations, and was awarded an MBE in 2024 in recognition of this work and her efforts to achieve sector representation in Westminster and beyond. At the British Beauty Council she helped to secure the ban on injectables for under-18s (the Botulinum Toxin and Cosmetic Fillers (Children) Act, in force from 1 October 2021) and campaigned for provision within the Health and Care Act 2022 to implement a mandatory licensing scheme for non-surgical cosmetic procedures. She is Chair of the Department for Business & Trade Hair & Beauty Skills Group and, having completed a postgraduate business course in sustainability at the University of Oxford in 2023, sits on the Steering Committee of the Council’s Sustainable Beauty Coalition.
