I'm very excited to be working for the family run company Coombes and Gabbie, we specialise in residential, commercial, retail and hospitality lighting and design.My priority is to offer solutions and create beautiful spaces by assisting interior designers and architects on their projects.

My experience as a successful Brand Manager in the Fashion Industry has led to a new opportunity this year working as the Showroom Manager for Frobisher Auckland.I am responsible for sales and operations at our Auckland showroom, representing International designers such as Rolf Benz and Kelly Hoppen.It is an honour to be surrounded by such inspiring design and working alongside talented NZ architects, interior designers and specifiers.Skilled in furnishing for residential and commercial interiors, I have the ability to work and advise clients with the must have interior design solutions for their projects.

Currently working at Ball Agencies, which is the largest Fashion distributors in NZ.My role is Sales/Marketing Manager for 10 international labels, key responsibilities are,sales/pr and new business within Australasia. I also co-ordinate and manage the sales team and set seasonal budgets for the team to achieve.A large part of my day to day business is client services and making sure that our brands are performing for each account. I pride myself on building great relationships, I'm a big believer in being loyal and offering only the best to my clients and therefore I have maintained a great reputation within this industry as my clients are confident with the work we do together. New business is constantly apart of my role, seeking out and establishing brands that I feel could perform well in Australasia, basically looking for that gap in the market and securing labels that I know would work well in these territories.

Running my own business was a dream I always wanted to achieve and I did in 2012 I launched Chester St Studio, a showroom representing international labels.My strengths have always been in sales and PR and now I was learning how to run a company, it was a busy time and very rewarding. I made amazing connections with suppliers, negotiated contracts and launched 7 brands into the NZ market. In 2015 I decided to merge with my previous employer maudella and combine all our brands under one umbrella. What I learnt from this experience is that I have a great respect for any person running their own company.

My responsibilities included at maudella, sales/pr/client management/representing the company at sales meeting in Europe/ sourcing new business at fairs and negotiating contracts, managing the team of sales agents/ designing campaigns for social media and print.forecasting each season and strategic planning to ensure brand exposure and achieving budgets.
