Optionelle, the London-based women's clothing business, continues to climb Profit magazine's list honouring women entrepreneurs for their firm's growth.

The business, owned by Gloria Dona-Palcich, was ranked 31st, hurdling five spots from last year's ranking at No. 36.

Of the 100 female-owned companies profiled on the list, Palcich's company was the only one from London.

"It is recognition of a job well done. Optionelle is growing every year. I think it is proof the company is moving in the right direction."

The ranking is based on company revenue, which was about $11 million this year. In 2003, Optionelle was ranked No 40.

Optionelle, which offers clothes for sale out of people's homes, has more than 300 consultants across Canada.
