As part of an eight-part series, our Money blog reporter Jess Sharp has spoken to women who are bossing it in their fields, hearing their stories, struggles and advice for others. For the final week, she has spoken to Denise Gosney, the founder of Razzamataz.

If you think appearing on Dragons' Den means Denise Gosney was handed success in business on a plate, you'd be very wrong. The 51-year-old's first memories are of sharing an 'airing cupboard bedroom' as a child - and it was this childhood that instilled in her the ethos that if you want something, the answer is to work harder. She grew up in a little town near Glasgow in a two-bedroom council flat with her mum, dad and three siblings.

'We always laugh now that he has been on Dragons' Den because he was in my belly,' she says. Business was booming, Denise was franchising across the country and working with big brands, but her life became 'really stressful' when she decided to try IVF and ICSI. 'I actually had a year break at that point because it is incredibly stressful having IVF and ICSI,' she says. After losing two more babies, she eventually fell pregnant with her second son, Lewis.
