Ann Skidmore
Lichfield

Ann’s experience and career in the image industry spans over 20 years because she has always had a passion for fashion – however not just for fashion’s sake. She has been Corporate Head of Human Resources and Head of Learning and Development in her career and as such recruited people based on both their qualifications/experience and also how they presented themselves in terms of their image, impact and style. Since setting up her business in 1998 she has worked with over 20,000 people coaching them to achieve their professional, personal and image goals.
Less than 1 year after training as an image consultant Ann won a prestigious ‘Rising Star’ award at Colour Me Beautiful’s Oscar evening (part of their international conference). She proudly displays that award (and others she has been awarded since!) in her studio in Lichfield, Staffordshire Ann has appeared on BBC West Midlands radio in Birmingham and also been ‘live on air’ on Ideal World Shopping Channel. She has also been a regular guest presenter on their Fabulous @ 50 and Fashion Fixes programmes. Her goal now is to appear on Loose Women speaking about ‘what are your clothes saying about you?’ and ‘if your shoes are polished so are you!’
Ann is proud to be one of Colour Me Beautiful’s image consultants in the UK and she blends her image experience with her business experience, coaching her clients to feel good on both the inside and outside by building their confidence and helping them to dress the body they have not the body they want.
Major blue chip corporations including banks, financial institutions, retailers, airlines and business owners call on Ann’s expertise throughout the UK and Europe. She presents to audiences in their hundreds and runs seminars and training programmes for companies wishing to help staff project a better image, maximise their potential and build high performing teams.
Some High Street retailers (L.K. Bennett and Hobbs), boutique owners and other organisations regularly use Ann’s expertise to assist in the coaching and development of employees to increase standards of client care and service. Ann helps her clients help their customers identify what to wear and how.
Publications that have included Ann’s articles or quotes are: Daily Express, Grazia, Daily Mail, Birmingham Post, Staffordshire Life and local media magazines and newspapers. She was also a volunteer at the London 2012 Olympics and Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth games and achieved her World Host BTEC qualification. Her proudest moment recently is
that she has been a model for the most recent edition of the Colour Me Beautiful book and appears on the front cover of that book!
