It is with great sadness that Patricia Eve Ltd announce the passing of their friend and colleague Claire Franks.

Claire died on Tuesday 29th September after a long, brave and private battle with a health condition. She has been a stalwart of the Lingerie Industry for many years, both as a store buyer and latterly in National Accounts Sales. Her integrity, professionalism, commitment and honesty shone through in all she did, but always mingled with her bright spirit for fun and laughter.
The team at Patricia Eve and all her friends in the industry will miss her positivity and humour. Our thoughts are with her husband Mike,daughter Ellen, granddaughter Delilah and her many friends far and wide.
Note from the Editor:
I met Claire when she started to work with Ballet Lingerie so many years ago and even then we hit it off despite lively and sometimes opposed views on the lingerie industry! Her enthusiasm held in me in awe and her joie de vivre always won out! She will be sorely missed by so many people and I count myself amongst that number. RIP Claire – the world is a poorer place without you here.
