Here's an inspiring story about an Avon rep who's been at it for 45 years. That's dedication!
From Farsley Today:
Meet a Farsley woman who has been Avon calling for almost half a century. When Mollie Bradley sold her first Avon lipsticks she was a mum with a young son trying to earn a bit of extra cash – and the Beatles were beginning to take the world by storm.
Today she is 79 years old, her son Paul is aged 50 and the Beatles have long become history – but Mollie is still selling Avon cosmetics. Mollie has been Avon calling for forty five years and is one of the company's longest-serving representatives.
Avon, an American company, was introduced into the UK 50 years ago in 1959 and has become an iconic brand with the catchphrase "Ding-Dong Avon calling" becoming its signature.
At the beginning, it was seen as the very essence of American culture but soon became part of British life and the Swinging Sixties – helped by women like Mollie.
In her 45 years in the job, there have been massive changes in the world: seven different prime ministers have led the country, the internet has linked the world globally and the mobile phone has become part of life.
But Mollie's job has remained basically unchanged – except that where once she did it in hat and gloves, now she dresses more casually.
She said: "In the early days we would really dress up, especially for our monthly meetings when al the representatives got together. We would all meet at Pudsey Civic Hall, or at a hotel and discuss the latest products."
