Today marks an incredibly sad day in the history of Tailored Image as we wave our founder, Design Director, colleague and friend Celia Birt off into the world of retirement after 28 years with the company, 37 years in the clothing industry.
Celia’s impact on Tailored Image has been immense. Tailored Image was her vision and from humble beginnings her passion, work ethic and warm leadership qualities have helped the company grow to the success story we enjoy today.
We will miss Celia in so many ways: her warm, welcoming personality, her motherly approach, her ability to bring out the best in us. Celia’s eye for detail and pursuit of perfection have undoubtedly been massive contributing factors to the Tailored Image we see today. Her colleagues and customers alike have enjoyed her trust, guidance and dedication for almost four decades and she will be sorely missed by all of us.
Not one to court the limelight, Celia will hate this post as much as she hates getting her photograph taken. Her humility makes her even more endearing to us and makes her success story an even greater accomplishment.
So here’s to Celia.
Please join with us in wishing her every health and happiness as she embarks on a very well earned retirement.
