A MALVERN cosmetics consultant has been flying high with the business elite.

Linda Hartley, a Virgin Cosmetics manager, recently attended the Branson High Flyers Club dinner, hosted by Sir Richard and Lady Joan Branson.

Mrs Hartley was one of a select number of Virgin Cosmetics consultants, chosen from more than 8,000 nationwide, to be invited to the dinner.

"She was honoured because of her outstanding achievement in reaching the Platinum level of the Branson High Flyers Club," said a spokeswoman for the Virgin Cosmetics Company. "She was also recognised for her outstanding sales throughout the last year."

Mrs Hartley enjoyed a champagne reception and five-course dinner at the Dorchester Hotel, Park Lane, London, before taking to the dance floor at The Roof Gardens, in Kensington, London.
