Working with a small team of five, I have developed their strengths to ensure the store is working as effectively as possible and have been able to in just 17 weeks turn sales from negative to positive growth. Focusing on customer service and specific product buying. I have not only strengthened relationships with loyal longstanding customers, who require bespoke one on one personal shopping and recommendation, but I have also established new business for the brand through my choice of key product. I have managed to generate a new International and European Clientele, based on my selection of up and coming brands. Some of which now make the store up to £2000 per week and when launched are so desirable they have a waiting list.I have also created relationships with VIP customers and their PR representatives, our discreet manner and ability to go to any length to obtain desired products has meant that we are now known for our excellent level of service. Finally I have tried to create a visually exciting and inspiring store that entices our customer whether that is to visit us on a Saturday afternoon or follow our new arrivals on Instagram. I believe in the personal touch and find this kind of bespoke servicing highly rewarding.

Reiss has a completely different pace to Office and the service focus is very different. You are giving the customer a personal shopping experience and have to know the fit, form and function of each garment as well as measuring, pinning and tailoring items. This type of service is an art form, and over my time with the company I built up a very loyal clientele.
