Gilbert Stephens host ‘Dress for Success’ seminar

On Tuesday 23 May, Gilbert Stephens YPN hosted a 'dress for success' breakfast seminar at their offices in Southernhay East, Exeter EX1 1QE.

The seminar was run by Pat Ayerst, an award winning image consultant in the South West who has over 20 years’ experience.

Pat discussed how to choose styles, fabrics, colours and patterns that really flatter you and help you to look and feel great, showed how to make friends with the fitting room when out shopping and explained how to ensure your wardrobe only contains the right clothing for you.

The event was well attended and there was much one-to-one discussion with Pat following the talk, where YPN members were eager to gain as many vital snippets of dress guidance as possible before the event closed.

Jamilah Pringle, Associate Solicitor at Gilbert Stephens says, “The session has been very useful and informative in helping YPN members to consider other aspects of their own personal brand that can help support them in being successful in both their business and professional life. Pat had a wealth of knowledge to share and certainly left our YPN members with much food for thought.”

The Exeter based Young Professionals Network (YPN) offers members a chance to network with like-minded professionals on an informal basis. The network was set up by Gilbert Stephens in 2010 to provide the firm’s younger members with the opportunity to build their own network of contacts in the Exeter area. The group has grown annually and now has over 300 members from industry, professional services and the charity sector.
