Throughout the evening, the Inspirational Women and their guests explored the historic building, where they were invited to meet dunhill’s leather craftspeople from the workshop in Walthamstow, watch a live leather painter and even have their own leather accessories personalised on the night.

A slideshow, displaying images from the Inspirational Women photo shoot in Brummell, plus the names of each of the 30 women featured in the listing, was shown in the screening room in the basement. This year, the list shined a spotlight on women who are influential industry change-makers and thought leaders in their respective fields, each spearheading positive change in the City.

Upstairs in the bespoke tailoring room, guests could take part in a wine tasting with Mariette Abovici of Bancroft Wines, with each wine served produced by female winemakers. The drinks and canapés flowed from Alfie’s Bar, dunhill’s best-kept secret, which is open daily for all to enjoy.

For festive gifting inspiration for friends and family, a preview of the dunhill products featured in Brummell‘s Winter 2017 ‘Five Ways’ photo shoot was displayed in the Discovery Room, and in the barber’s room, guests were welcomed into the space to meet the barber and discuss the many services available at the store.

This sparkling event was an uplifting celebration of the achievements of the Inspirational Women, who all prove that determined and dynamic leadership is the key to business success.
