A woman from Whixley has won a Yorkshire Young Achievers Award after launching a successful clothing business.

Lucy Winn has overcome many obstacles in her life, having suffered with epileptic seizures and facial paralysis through her teenage years.

Despite this, Lucy gained a degree in Fashion Marketing and Promotion at Westminster University, eventually launching the Vintage Studio.

The business has since gained a following of around 13,000 on Instagram, some of which are extremely high profile, such as pop singer, Zara Larsson.

Well done on winning this amazing award Lucy!
