LOOK inside Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo's locker and you are more than likely to find a bottle with Uber written on it. There will definitely be one in the Girls' Aloud dressing room and in Davina McCall's bathroom.

Oh, and there's a bottle of Uber cleanser kicking around somewhere in the Middle East, in a tent that is a temporary home to a troop of special forces.

"We gave some of the commandos who were working on the James Bond film Quantum of Solace some of our products," says Bert Jukes, one half of the duo behind Uber.

"They love the stuff! I think they will become the faces for our campaigns - tough men, soft skin!"

While Uber means little - yet - in Glasgow, it is becoming a big name elsewhere.

And it is down Bert and Bert, Jukes and Wallace. From a base in Bellshill and soon to be East Kilbride, they have been putting Glasgow on the map for skincare, getting celebs to swap global brands for something made in Britain, and sold from Scotland.

Football stars, musicians and gossip magazine regulars have all tried the stuff.

Davina recently sang its praises on GMTV, as did MTV pin-up June Sarpong.

Their products, which range from everything from fake-tan to shower gels, have been on the market for around 18 months. But few in Scotland will have heard of Uber. So far it has all been online or through their Avon-style beauty consultants who host party evenings and events.

Now, as their products hit the high street in stores like Envy and Faith, they are about to make their Scottish sales drive.

"Both of us are excited about getting back up here," says Bert Wallace.

"I'm from Possilpark and the other Bert is from Coatbridge and all the models we use are from the Glasgow area, so we knew we wanted Glasgow to be at the heart of our launch here."

The pair of 50-somethings are serial entrepreneurs.

Jukes has always had an interest in the beauty and healthcare business.

Wallace on the other hand has done everything, well-known to drinkers in the city as the man behind the Moloko bar in the west end.

It was at a trade fair, where Wallace was promoting his last venture, a vibrating toning plate, that he came across Uber, a range developed by cosmetic scientist Bruce Green who had previously worked with L'Oreal.

Wallace met Jukes at another trade fair later that year where the pair chatted about the brand and eventually decided to buy the business. But only after their daughters had sampled the products first.

"If you ever need a true test if anything is any good, my daughters are the ideal critics," says Wallace.

"If they don't like something or think it is a lot of rubbish then they will tell you. But they liked it, as did my son Jonathan. I knew if they were happy to give it the nod then it had potential."

Sinking "hundreds of thousands of pounds" into the company, the pair launched Uber (which means above all' or better than' in German) at a glam bash early last year. Among the guests were Colleen Rooney, Kelly Brooke and Denise van Outen.

"The response has been good," says Wallace. "We've managed to get among men too - we gave goodie bags away at a Football Player's Association event too.

"The male market is a big deal. It's worth around £860million and it is really growing so it is worth getting into."

There are currently two different product lines; Uber Sassy for Women and Uber Slick for men. But the plan is to introduce a line for teenagers and even children.

Now, as they attempt to break into their hometown and home country, spirits are high.

"This is the best thing that has happened to me," jokes Jukes.

"I know Duncan Bannatyne and he has always said that if you are an entrepreneur who isn't in debt or under stress then you aren't doing your job.

"But have you seen this face - have you felt how soft my hands are? I've never looked better!"
