Taking to Instagram to talk about making the prestigious list of names, she said: "Forbes 30 Under 30, I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!

"Almost 5 years ago, I was sitting in Starbucks Glasgow Airport having one of the very first VIEVE meetings and I was asked by my colleague what goals I had for myself in the world of business.

"I started to speak and actually stopped myself because I thought it sounded so ridiculous, but with gentle encouragement I said ‘I would love to be in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list’. Makes me want to cry, thinking what that Jamie from 5 years ago would think seeing everything that has been accomplished today! What a huge dream come true.

"Thank you @forbes, my wonderful @vievemuse team and to you all for your continued love and support. Without you, I wouldn’t be here. X"

Writing in the comment section to congratulate the Glasgow business woman, one said: "Aw Jamie this is so amazing and so deserved. Congrats."

Another added: "Nobody deserves these achievements more than you Jamie. You continue to pave the way for BEAUTY FROM THE UK but mostly, BEAUTY FROM THE HEART. I am so proud of you, so inspired by you and so utterly SPEECHLESS, because of you. Again and again. CONGRATULATIONS JAMIE. THIS IS ONLY THE START."

"I'm smiling so big!!! Epic! Congratulations" said a third.
