FIREFIGHTER, mother-of-two – and now the face of famous cosmetics brand Avon.

Donna Bowsher, of Andover, has been chosen as one of the faces of Avon’s latest campaign to attract new sales representatives.

The 31-year-old’s image can be seen on the company’s pink double- decker recruitment bus as it launches a new drive to recruit more sales staff.

Donna’s face is one of those featured on the bus alongside a quote about her experiences of working for the firm, which she joined two years ago.

And the firefighter of 13 years took time out of her part-time role to give advice to those interested in joining Avon as the firm’s bus rolled into the town centre.

Donna joined the company as a sales rep in August 2012 and has worked her way up to become a sales leader.

During that time she gave birth to her youngest child, Daisy, and she has remained on call as a firefighter for about 80 hours per week, battling blazes across the town as part of the crew at Andover fire station.

Yet the usually courageous Donna wasn’t quite so fearless about taking pride of place on the Avon bus.

She told the Andover Advertiser: “I found out three months ago and I was embarrassed then but now it’s in town I’m even more embarrassed!

“But at the same time I’m really pleased and proud and I hope it helps to get more people involved.

“I’m sure my friends will give me some stick but they are really happy for me.”
