Phoebe Gormely; 22; Founder and Tailor-in-Chief of Gormley & Gamble, the first women's only tailors in Savile Row's history

In 2014 I quit university to start my own company, Gormley & Gamble. I had one lecture a week and was completely un-stimulated – I wanted more. Having interned around Savile Row since the tender age of 15, I knew where I wanted to go. Two years on and we're the first women's only tailors in the history of the street. The future of G&G includes a semi-bespoke line launching a highly-curated edit of wardrobe essentials.

My advice to other women looking to start out is that this life, of 7-day weeks, 14-hour days, it's not for everyone and it's never going to be easy. It's not for the faint-hearted, and you absolutely have to back yourself, and believe in yourself, or you can't expect anyone else to do so. But the rewards are great; there's nothing like the feeling of serving a happy customer, or walking into a morning meeting with your team around you and ready to work. 

I believe that everyone has it in them; it's just finding the right thing to put your heart and mind to.
