Brummell goes Bond
In case you have been in seclusion on a submarine in the Mariana Trench, you cannot have failed to have been bombarded with pubicity and merchandising for the latest Bond movie, Quantum of Solace.

Ripped and ready
To carry off the Bond look, you need the Bond frame. After all, clothes hang best on a shapely clothes horse. To beat off the winter blues and give your biceps a boost, Brummell has a special offer from the new City studio of Matt Roberts, fitness trainer to the stars, for a a free fitness consultation, bespoke fitness programme and a 10% discount of all training packages. -
High-octane handling
Brummell (begrudgingly) congratulates Gemma Pugh of Arbor Square Associates, winner of a prize draw for attendees at the FN 100 Women event last month to enjoy a weekend with an Aston Martin V8 Roadster, thanks to event sponsor Aston Martin. Fortunately, Brummell has another prize draw up his immaculately tailored sleeve – win a supercar driving lesson courtesy of luxury car club écurie25. -
Neither shaken nor stirred
When the markets are shaking, the Brummell man certainly does not want to seem stirred. A good grooming regime complements a man’s lifestyle, fashion sense and boosts confidence. Starting this week, Hugo Boss is running a promotion in a selection of stores to offer a top-notch grooming experience. -
