A Wiltshire beautician has been named among the best in the country at a national awards event.

Camilla Pollock, the founder of Chippenham based business Beauty Within, has been named Top Skincare Specialist at the UK Beauty Awards 2024.

Mrs Pollock first started her business in a summerhouse at the end of her garden in Pewsham around six years ago and is now recognised as one of the country’s best in her field.

Reflecting on her triumph following the awards night, which was held in Birmingham, she thanked the “loyal” customers who have helped the firm grow over the years.

She said: “I truly love what I do. I believe that when you are passionate about your work, it doesn’t feel like a job at all.

“This achievement would not have been possible without my wonderful support network and my loyal clients.”

Mrs Pollock, who has around 16 years of experience in the industry, has previously said she enjoys boosting her clients’ confidence through treatment.

She aims to do this by offering a “holistic” treatment in a relaxing environment.

Mrs Pollock added: “I believe in treating not just the exterior but also nurturing the inner self and this is exactly what I bring to my treatments, advanced skincare with a holistic approach.

“My sanctuary is warming, welcoming, and immediately puts my clients at ease no matter what kind of a day they’ve had.”

Looking to the future, the Chippenham beautician is keen to continue her success and will be welcoming more clients.

“I am currently opening up a waiting list for clients in 2025, I can be found on Instagram under ‘Beauty within_by Camilla’.

“I look forward to welcoming many more wonderful clients in the near future.”

The UK Beauty Awards has been running since 2018 and aims to recognise the best in the industry.

A spokesperson said: “The beauty industry is a really exciting space to be.

“It's thriving more than ever and the talent behind it does not go unnoticed.

“The UK Beauty awards aim to recognise and reward ‘beauty-preneurs’ for their commitment, client experience and success.”
