With over 14 years of experience in retail compliance, including a foundational career with SGS, I bring deep expertise in product compliance, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and ethical sourcing. Currently, I lead Ethical Sourcing and Compliance at Homebase, where I proactively navigate the evolving post-Brexit regulatory landscape, continually expanding my knowledge to meet new standards.My compliance expertise spans all key areas of consumer product standards, including CE marking, General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR), Energy-related Products Directive (ERP), REACH, the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). I’m also well-versed in CSR and sustainability legislation, enabling me to drive initiatives that align with Homebase’s ethical and environmental goals.Recent accomplishments include achieving over 50% annual savings through optimized packaging waste and WEEE reporting and implementing a returns reduction program that saved over £300,000 last year alone.
