Coutts Woman

Welcome back!

May Issue

Welcome to the May issue of Coutts Woman. This month’s edition should stimulate some debate with self-confessed ‘chauvinist’ racing commentator John McCririck, fresh from the excitement of the Grand National, giving us his views on women and horse racing.

Also in the spotlight is a new female orientated dining experience being launched by top chef Gary Rhodes in London later this month. No doubt debates will be raging as to whether all women will want to eat light like Victoria Beckham – click below for his views.

This month we also feature Beverly Aspinall, managing director of luxury food specialists Fortnum and Mason, who talks about her rise to the top of one of the UK’s most iconic brands.

And finally, read the inspirational story of the western business women making a big impact on businesses in Asia and also how a former art dealer gave up her business to help breast cancer sufferers.

We hope you enjoy these articles and look forward to hearing your feedback!
