I have a love of fashion innovation and have co-written a book called 'creativity and innovation in fashion', published by Routledge. As a retail commentator and expert, I have appeared as a guest on BBC Radio Four’s Woman’s Hour, BBC Radio Five Live’s Money programme, BBC World Service, several regional BBC stations and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme discussing a diverse range of topics around fashion, business and global retailing. Continuous professional development is hugely important to me.
