E3: Andrew Ramroop: coaching the best bespoke tailor in the world on post-COVID pivoting and succession planning


Listen Later

Join me as I coach Andrew Ramroop, seen by many as the best tailor in the world. He was the first Black tailor on Savile Row and his highly confidential client list is much sought after. He tailored five suits for Princess Diana and now travels the world to fit his clients. As the session progresses, Andrew starts to uncover his blindspots and assumptions in his business. I’m excited to watch how he puts his discoveries into action in the near future.

The session covers:

  • Kickstarting a business after a two-year pandemic lull 
  • To what extent are you pivoting effectively? 
  • Challenging your own outdated ways of doing things 
  • Succession planning for the next generation

If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, it would be great to hear your biggest takeaway. Head over to Spotify and leave a review. 

About Andrew

Andrew Ramroop is a Savile Row tailor. His international client list includes famous politicians, movie stars, captains of industry and royalty.

Andrew is Trinidadian and became an apprentice to a local tailor when he was 13. He moved to London when he was 17 to work on Savile Row. He graduated from the London College of Fashion and eventually became the first Black person to own a Tailoring House on Savile Row, Maurice Sedwell.

Andrew is keen to pass on his skills to the next generation of tailors and has been heavily involved in creating bespoke training initiatives for them. He was awarded an OBE in 2009, for his work in tailoring and training, and was the UK’s Black Business Person of the Year in 2017.
