Welcome to the April edition

This may be the month for all things foolish, but that is certainly not the case for the three fantastically inspirational women featured in this month’s issue.

Former 'Dragon', Rachel Elnaugh recounts her personal story of business success and failure and how she is now reprioritising her life; PR guru, Lynne Franks tells us about her latest venture supporting women in business and neuroscientist Baroness Greenfield talks about her love for science and clothes.

This month Julie Eagleton tells us about a very different trip to Japan, Lindsey Rogerson gives advice on how to become a non-executive director and in Money Matters we look at how last month's budget will affect you.

We also have the second part of Ruth Trinder's fascinating journey from Coutts employee to Coutts client and podcasts with some leading entrepreneurs, ready for you to download.

Don't forget you can now 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.

We hope you enjoy the issue.
