Welcome to the December issue
This month we have a number of women sharing their stories of success, including Rachel Lowe who, after being savaged in the Dragon’s Den three years ago, has just launched what is likely to be one of this Christmas’s hottest board games. And with Christmas being a popular time for diamond buying, we also talk to Melissa Sturgess, one of the very few women leading a diamond exploration company about her rise to success.
Alex Blyth tells us about the stunning island of Kao Lack and its recovery since the 2004 tsunami to become the ultimate in luxurious holiday destinations and closer to home, we also visit Oxford’s unusual Malmaison hotel.
In Money Matters, we look at the impact of the latest pre-budget report and the changes to Lasting Power of Attorney law, the value of pre-nuptial agreements as well as taking a look at what the property market is likely to hold for 2008.
And for those doing last minute Christmas planning, we show you how to whip up an alternative Christmas dinner, and if gifts are leaving you stumped, Michele Nevard take us through the minefield of picking a watch for your other half this season and we also bring you a selection of top Christmas gifts which you probably won’t want to give away!Don’t forget you can now also subscribe to receive updates from Coutts Woman, which will give a preview of up and coming features as well as exclusive subscriber access to future offers and events.
