Ailsa Anderson, Director of Communications and Marketing from the Eastern City BID, said: “My team and I are delighted to be part of this amazing event in one of the most iconic parts of the City.
“Many of you will remember Jamie from his Made in Chelsea days, or will have sampled his incredibly popular – and delicious – Candy Kitten gourmet vegan sweet range. But he is here now to talk about his journey around mental health, resilience and how he works to overcome anxiety through fitness.”
