People and business: Davies moves in stately style
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LIZ DAVIES has joined Birchin International as managing director in charge of styling, to spruce up the AIM-listed company's three stately homes which have been converted to conference centres.
Ms Davies was the creative force behind the 1980s fashion icon Next which she founded with her former husband George Davies. In 1992 she moved to Mothercare to work with Ann Iversen, and was expected by the industry to follow Ms Iversen to Laura Ashley.
Perhaps wisely, she didn't, and instead founded her own retail design consultancy, working for the likes of Tesco and Storehouse.
Now Ms Davies's job is to "bring some coherence" to Birchin's three country houses - Eynsham Hall in Yorkshire, Chewton Place in Oxfordshire and Swinton Castle in Bristol.
