Wellbeing of Women is delighted to present the inspirational businesswoman Helen Alexander as guest speaker at the The Parlour Restaurant at Fortnum & Mason. This inspiring and fun event promises to be the perfect opportunity to simply socialize or to host your clients in a very unusual setting.

Starting with drinks and canapés, a taster selection of gastronomic ice cream will follow, many flavours of which are found nowhere else in the world and for which the restaurant is celebrated.

This evening will provide an opportunity to hear about the highly successful career path of one of the UK’s most extraordinary business women and will also highlight the great work of Wellbeing of Women and its beneficial impact on every woman and baby born in the UK since 1928.

Tickets are £25 and available online here. This event is selling extremely fast, so book now to avoid disappointment.
