Adding to the occasion, attendees will have the chance to receive one of 50 signed copies of Mary’s new book, Work Like A Woman: A Manifesto Of Change.

Mary Portas’ outstanding retail career began at Harrods where she was responsible for window displays. She subsequently moved to Top Shop and Harvey Nichols, becoming a member of the store’s main board before she was 30.

She has become a familiar face on TV, following her BBC 2 series Mary Queen of Shops which first aired in 2005.

In 2009, she opened her first Living & Giving charity shop in support of Save The Children, with outlets currently totalling 16.

Two years later, she was commissioned by David Cameron’s government to lead a review into the future of Britain’s high streets which led to the publication of the Portas Review.

Autumn Fair takes place from September 1- 4 at the NEC, Birmingham. Visit www.autumnfair.com
