About Liz Clothier

Liz has always had a fascination with people and clothes. Her passion for fashion started at an early stage when she realised that the shops didn't sell the garments that she wanted to wear! She enrolled into a local class and learned how to use her Grandmother's old sewing machine. Her early employment in retail was at 13 when she worked for the now deceased Woolworths.

After graduating from Durham University with a Zoology degree she had to follow her heart back into fashion where she could work with, rather than study, the human animal. She joined Top Shop in its early days of rapid expansion and there followed a "beautiful career" which spanned Store Management, Buying and Merchandising and Concessions. Working at Debenhams built on her experience of recruitment, team leadership and operational management.

More recently Liz has run her own businesses – a highly successful consultancy, an interiors company and an online jewellery business. She has also held a number of Non-Executive Director roles.

Liz is an unambiguous, inspiring communicator who engages rapidly with people. At the heart of everything she does is her unwavering belief in people and relationships. Her expertise in visual impact and coaching and mentoring helps individuals and organisations to present themselves authentically and with confidence.
