Former client, friend and supporter of Suited & Booted, Kieron Bryan was recently interviewed by Jules and Zac from the Life After Prison podcast. He talks about his journey in and out of prison and the motivation and determination he found to succeed once outside.
Referred to us by The Longford Trust on his release from prison, Kieron came to us to get kitted out for his upcoming job interview. He was delighted with the results, as he tells Jules and Zac in his interview. And we are delighted that we could help him on his way to look smart and feel confident. It’s what we’re here to do!
Clients are referred to us by public agencies such as the Longford Trust as well as charities such as Jobcentre Plus, the NHS, Crisis and London Probation when they have the offer of a job interview or work placement.
When clients come in to be fitted, we help them find a good quality suit that fits well and looks great. Clients and volunteers also work together to find the right accessories such as ties, cufflinks and shoes. We provide a welcoming, friendly environment where, as well as a dressing session, clients receive some thoughtful advice, interview training and support.
Our clients keep their suit and accessories. We can also assist when they get their new job by providing a few extras, such as shirts and ties, to support their working wardrobe.
