In 1995 she received the Young Australian Of The Year award and that year the company made a profit of $6.5 million.A few years later though, Poppy shut it down and moved to the US.Poppy has always been a leader, not a follower and she’s always been an original thinker in a way that has not necessarily made it easy for her.
