Welcome to the August issue of Coutts Woman

This month we meet Sam Shepard, an army Major who tells us the inspirational story of her rise through the ranks and her experiences as a woman fighting in Iraq. Daily Mail columnist Allison Pearson also tells us about her work with the charity, Working Families, and Zara Phillips talks about missing out on this year’s Olympic games.

We also meet Susan Harmsworth, the founder of the luxury Espa spas, and in Uniquely Coutts, Kunsang Chodon tells Coutts Woman about her experiences fleeing Tibet, before coming to the UK in search of a better life.

In travel Barbara Walshe tells us about her trip to India and the Maldives and in Money Matters we look at investing in race horses and expanding your business abroad.

We also look at how you can better manage your time, and review some of the most fashionable exhibitions to visit this summer.

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.
