Hat maker a top ten business hero. Check it out:

(Harrogate Advertiser Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) A WETHERBY woman who turned her life from tragedy to triumph has been crowned one of Britain's top ten business heroes by setting-up her own hat-making enterprise.

Milliner Woody Whittick, who set up She's All That a year ago, was presented with her winner's trophy by GMTV presenter Fiona Phillips at a glittering gala dinner in London on Wednesday.

The hat maker beat off fierce competition from hundreds of applicants, to finish as a finalist in the Barclays Trading Places Awards, launched this year to people who have overcome personal adversity to positively change their lives by setting up a thriving business.

Woody has fought a battle with ill health since suffering from ME in her teens. She suffered a paralysing spine injury at only 30, and was made redundant during her recovery when her employer went bankrupt.

But after a change of direction she found her calling.

Since opening She's All That last Summer, Woody has designed hats for hundreds of women, including celebrities and catwalk models, featured at Royal Ascot, designed the crown for Miss York 2006 and been elected vice-chair of the British Hat Guild.

Barclay's John Davis said: "The quality of entries made judging extremely difficult but all the judges felt She's All That shone out as a real-life example of an outstanding business that has thrived despite what seemed like impossible odds.

"We congratulate Woody Whittick on being crowned a 2006 National Finalist."
