Who owns Beaverbrooks?
Third generation of our family-owned business, Mark Adlestone joined the company in 1979 and since then has worked his way up from Joint Managing Director and sole Managing Director, to becoming our beloved Chairman in 2012. Our story began in 1919 when the three Adlestone brothers, Isaac, Harry and Maurice, moved to Belfast to pursue their dream of selling fine jewellery and gifts. Fast forward to today, we now have 85 stores nationwide and over 1,200 colleagues. And, Isaac’s grandson, Mark Adlestone, is our beloved Chairman.
What is the smart casual dress code?
A smart casual dress code refers to a desired style of dress that is more kempt than casual and less flashy than formal. Finding the right balance between comfortable and fashionable is tricky, but most people can likely create a smart casual outfit based on what they already own. Avoid wearing poor fitting jeans, anything that looks scruffy or too casual such as sportswear. Trousers are best for men, consider a linen trouser in summer or a tailored pair of shorts if shorts aren’t prohibited.Most venues have a relaxed ‘smart casual’ dress code these days, so there is no need for men to wear a jacket and tie (unless otherwise specified) – trousers or smart jeans, collared shirt and clean/un-scuffed shoes are acceptable.
