"The power of the suit gives confidence. If you look confident it speaks volumes about the company you are representing". Liz Field MSc, concludes the first day of the #PIMFAWomenSymposium25 by conducting a fireside chat with Kathryn Sargent, the first female Master Cutter on #SavilleRow. 🚧Obstacles faced in a male dominated industry - not being taken seriously by colleagues or clients. 🏃♂️To overcome this - getting to know clients and understand what they need as an individual, being reliable in advice helps to maintain long term relationships. As with clothes individuality is important. Stay with our instincts and be honest as clients don't fit one mould. Don't be afraid to gently tell your clients if they are wrong about something as a tailor would with making a clients outfit. #tailoring #financialadvice
