    Programme and department profile rescue! The high profile of new store construction, design and opening meant that the profile of the property department, whos responsibility it is to deliver this to the business and shareholders, is very high internally. Through a legacy of issues and bad decisions that had been taken this department was under significant pressure. My role was to assist the head of the department, deliver 8 of the key "Extra" (worth £250k per week) stores as an example of best practice and impart my knowledge of how to make my standard practice a part of the culture moving forward. This was achieved one month ahead of schedule and the glowing references from this tier one business are held with pride.
