Sara Marsden Shreeve
Sara has always had an interest in fashion and style, from her youth. She also has always enjoyed learning and her interest in psychology particularly, took hold of her at college, which she then furthered at University. She graduated with a BA Hons in Applied Social Science (Psychology & Sociology). From here, her working life settled within the Civil Engineering sector, specifically amongst Corporate Insurance which she loved and allowed her to deal with all tiers of the work force and external legal professionals.
After leaving work and having her family she had her ‘epiphany’ and decided to marry all of her skills and knowledge together and train to be an Image Consultant. After thorough research to find her ‘skills provider’ she now knows she chose wisely.
Sara is a firm believer that learning is forever and so she continues to add new skills, meet new people and gain more knowledge so that she can improve her services.
Sara currently looks after the logistical side of Première Impression UK.
