Building the business behind beauty Brands

Janet Milner-Walker has spent more than two decades working across the global beauty and wellness industry, developing first-hand experience of how brands are positioned, commercially developed, and scaled across international markets.

Her career spans retail buying and product development roles with leading retailers including Marks & Spencer, Harvey Nichols, Al Tayer Group, and The Body Shop, where she worked across the UK, Middle East, and emerging international markets, shaping how beauty brands move from concept to shelf within highly competitive consumer landscapes.

Over time, one pattern became consistently clear: the brands that achieve lasting growth are rarely driven by creativity alone. Their success is shaped by the strength of the strategic and commercial decisions underpinning them, from positioning and category clarity to product direction and market expansion.

In 2017, she founded Bespoke Advantage to work alongside ambitious beauty and wellness founders navigating pivotal stages of growth, bringing clarity to complexity and aligning creative vision with the commercial foundations required for international scale.

Today, Bespoke Advantage works globally with founders, leadership teams, retailers, and investors, supporting the strategic decisions that shape how brands are built, positioned, and expanded across international markets.

Director, International Markets, TIQ, Queensland
‘I have been working with Janet and her team at Bespoke Advantage for over a year and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. My dream of developing a brand is coming to life with Janet’s expertise and her team’s patience and perseverance. Janet is organized and delivers on what she promises. As I set out on a mission to develop a brand, I quickly learned that there are details that I would not be able to manage without the Bespoke team. From packaging to branding, testing and compatibility, developing a brand requires a team that has experience. Janet and her team are wonderful to work with since they have the experience and the understanding of how to build a brand that will be attractive to the consumer. Janet never makes decisions without my approval and always listens to what my vision is for the brand. They are working toward making my dream come true. I highly recommend Bespoke Advantage to help anyone who is looking to develop a brand.’

From the very beginning, Bespoke Advantage demonstrated a deep understanding of our export goals and objectives. Their comprehensive knowledge of the European market, coupled with their extensive network of contacts, enabled them to connect us with key decision-makers and influential stakeholders in our target countries. Their strategic guidance and insights were invaluable in shaping our export strategy and positioning us for long-term success.’

Working with Janet over the past year has been a real pleasure, she has fantastic industry experience and knowledge of the UK beauty market. She has delivered a number of webinars for my clients looking at how to enter the UK market, providing an overview of the market and how to build a strategy. She took the briefs we provided and added real value to them, included key insights and information that my clients have found incredibly useful. Feedback on these sessions has been very positive. Janet is a clear communicator and has always delivered as agreed and on time. We are continuing to work together on other projects and I very much value the conversations we share.
