Bespoke and tailored for PAs

Last week saw the first of the APA round of autumn and winter Roadshows around the country with a host of different topics and sponsors.

With the number of women rising to board and executive level [Although still too low], the first event was generously and jointly hosted by the world’s leading cloth suppliers, Holland and Sherry and the pioneer of women’ tailoring, Carol Alayne of Tailoring for Women.

Carol described the hand-crafted process and the benefits of high quality tailoring and kindly compared it to the tailored training courses from APA for PAs. Each intended to exceed the need and last a life time.

Members greatly enjoyed the experience of a contemporary exposure to bespoke tailoring and couture design in the friendly environment of Holland & Sherry’s interim offices in Barclay Square; while there historic offices in Savile Row are being refurbished.
