The 26 year-old from Hull had grafted her way up from checkout girl in a supermarket.
Sir Alan told her: "All you have ever done in your life is work hard and you have become a great achiever."
Michelle left school with only two GCSEs and a year later her older sister Fiona, 19, fell to her death from an eighth-floor window.
The tragedy spurred Michelle on to success and by 24 she was running her own
telecoms business.
