I am responsible for building and maintaining good relationships with new and existing retail partners.My aim is to maximise sales through offering market leading products along side carefully structured promotional calendar. My job involves a high level of sales analysis and reporting to make sure that targets are being met.The other part to my job is to identify potential new business partnerships. I carefully select retailers that will represent our product portfolio in our desired way.

Within my 7 years of employment at The Fossil Group, I worked within the concession's department. I looked after an extensive range of fashion brands within our own portfolio, as well as a select group of external brands needed to fulfil the full customer experience. The main client was House of Fraser where we created over 50+ concessions across the UK & Ireland containing such fashion accessories as watches, jewellery & leather goods.The main responsibility was to accurately forecast annual sales and control the spend by store & by brand. This required a high level of analytical and advanced excel skills. I worked closely with the concession buyer in order to propose range changes based on sales data and trends.I gained an extensive knowledge of SAP during my time and worked with it daily in order to relay accurate product and sales information. I also ran weekly KPI's and in order to strategise for sales targets ahead.

Within this 5 year period I covered many roles gaining vital experience within the distribution trade.I was an inventory controller for the majority of my time, but I also gained experience in the transport office booking and controlling deliveries. I was also a goods in team leader where I looked after a team of 6 people per shift.The main duties of the Inventory controllers role was to maintain an accurate stock level for the £60 million stock holding.
