About Mary Portas: I Shop, Therefore I Am - Augustine Hall - Canterbury Christ Church University

Businesswoman, broadcaster, author and activist Mary Portas reveals how, armed only with the blank canvas of a Harvey Nicks shop window and her own creativity, she created a business empire that has stood the test of time. In conversation for Canterbury Festival, Mary Portas looks back on the 90s and takes us behind the shop window – from behind-the-scenes fashion gossip to the early lessons that shaped her career. Join us for a celebration of vision, risk, and business as a creative act.
