For those of you not so new to our events, you will know we have been lucky enough to have hosted some exceptional speakers this year from Britt Lintner (The Hustler) and Maggie Berry (The Tech Guru) to Avid Larizadeh (The True Believer). Tonight, we look forward to hearing more from Kim Winser OBE on what it takes to succeed...
Since our October event, we have had great contributions to our blog: from “Brave New World” by Chloe Donegan and “An Almost Term in Marketing” by Martha Mcpherson to “Feminism Today” by Camilla Turner. We have also been lucky to confirm some great future speakers including Carolyn McCall OBE (CEO of Easyjet) to Dame Rosalind Savill (Former Director of The Wallace Collection). We want to take this opportunity to extend our gratitude to everyone who has made this possible from the people who come to our events to those who contribute to our blog.

EYEDEA PRESENTS: KIM WINSER OBE ! PAGE2
University Women’s Club | 2 South Audley Street, London, W1K 1DB | www.eyedea.org.uk
Kim Winser is a highly talented tennis player, leading businesswoman, private
equity connoisseur and we are truly lucky to
host her tonight. Kim is part of the 0.17% of the UK’s population that has been honored
by the Queen with the Order of the British
Empire. How do you get awarded an OBE?
Changing the face of the retail industry
certainly helps..
Fresh out of secondary school, Kim Winser
was contemplating a career in tennis, and
would have provided the Williams sisters very tough competition no doubt. Instead, in
1977 she joined the management training
program at M&S and soon became their
youngest appointed divisional director, the first for a female in the commercial field.
Kim, eager for new challenges, was presented with the opportunity to turn
around Pringle of Scotland in 1999. She took
the former men’s golf wear label and
revamped it into the fashionable brand we know today. Having improved the Hawick
factories, she took the brand to Bond Street, Sloane Street and Pringle made a ‘wow-
factor’ debut during Fashion week.
Amongst Kim’s repertoire we also see the revival and expansion of Aquascutum,
where she brought in Gisele Bundchen and
Pierce Brosnan as the new faces of the brand. Ms. Winser was also the driving
force behind the turnaround of Agent Provocateur and is on the Board of our
favourite French Sole. Her achievements for the industry, widely appreciated by the fashionistas, are well documented – BBC
hosted two programs dedicated to Ms. Winser, and she was honored as one of the top 3 most successful businesswomen ever by
the Wall Street Journal (Europe).
Her accomplishments for charity cannot go
unmentioned. She is an Ambassador for
Cancer Research UK, for which we are fundraising tonight, has done extensive work with the HRH Prince Charles for The Prince's and Lady Helen Taylor for CLIC
Sargent.
A vivacious personality, devoted mother and
dedicated charitable personality, Kim
Winser is a true tour de force. Enjoy!
