Daily management of store and cafe, consisting of 25 full time employees. Regular reporting to CEO and board members as well as mentorship for other stores and their GM's globally. I was tasked to focus on increasing the stores profitability and developing our existing team, both of which were a success with a YOY growth of 9% and 5 internal promotions within 8 months.

Tasked originally with setting up a new menswear department within Selfridges I was soon given responsibility over both men's and ladies departments within the store. It has been a challenging and immensely enjoyable return to the retail sector with a company that could not be ignored when an approach was made. Main responsibilities include all usual retail KPI's as well as the integration of Burberry's exemplary customer service model into the Selfridges business to meet the unique demands of both groups. Working for and with such well regarded businesses presented a steep learning curve, but one that has given me many of the challenges and development goals I have been seeking throughout my career.

Sales Executive working with the New Car team. In a departure from my retail background I sought to expand my skill set by gaining experience in the professional sales sphere. My background in customer acquisition and retention has helped me enormously in this vibrant and fast moving industry. Role involves securing customers both new and existing, face to face negotiation, deal closing and effective execution of administration tasks and paperwork to deliver an apparently seamless product and service...often in a very short time frame.As with all sales roles achieving targets is key, but these targets and remuneration opportunities are spread across a myriad of sales and service avenues meaning numbers alone are not enough. Levels of add-on and up-selling are keenly monitored and rewarded with service above all marking out the exceptional salesman.

Young and thriving independent group I was passionate about working with. Have grown from a single store in 6 years to become a major player in sourcing emerging brands from around the globe and shipping them worldwide. Regularly collaborating with brands on exclusive pieces and content for websites and blogs. I came into the company seeking challenges and progression which, to an extent, I received. Was given managerial responsibilities over both the current stores and regularly took charge of the media campaigns online, collaborating with sites such as hypebeast.com and various influential blogs. Loved my time there, particularly being part of a young institution and the feeling of building a brand but relocation forced me to leave.

North East Independent owned by Delima Ltd. Moved here to build on personnel and managerial skills while studying for my Law degree.

My first experience of the jobs market and a hugely enjoyable one. Pushed myself to attain the highest level available to a part-time member of staff and learned a huge amount about the retail business from this early experience.
