A day in the life: Tech entrepreneur


Listen Later

The third instalment in our series giving you a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of those working in fashion industry. Victoria Prew is the first to admit she’s an unlikely fashionista. She tells The Telegraph’s Senior Fashion Editor, Charlie Gowans-Eglinton how she went from training as a chartered surveyor to owning what Forbes called “the Airbnb of fashion”: the UK’s first peer-to-peer fashion rental service, Hurr Collective.

What’s it like quitting your full-time job to go it alone? Does she manage to strike a work-life balance? And how did she persuade investors sustainability wasn’t simply a fad?

All is revealed within.
