  • Arcadia Group Ltd
    Project Manager - Ecommerce
    Arcadia Group Ltd 2006 - 2008
    London, Gb
    Arcadia decided that its existing bespoke web platform would not scale and that replacement with a package was the best strategic approach. As one of the few in the business with experience of our previous home shopping operation I was involved from the outset with both package and vendor selection leading us to settle on IBM's Websphere Commerce solution. We held a number of business and IT workshops to define all the requirements for the overall solution both in the short term for initial go-live and to build the roadmap for the following 12-18 months. I then managed the large programme of work developing a new web front end that would support 7 different Brands integrated into our legacy fulfilment systems. The first of the sites went live in May 2007 with all the Arcadia brands live by March 2008. At completion of the programme, I moved to take on overall responsibility for the eCommerce future developments.
  • Arcadia Group Ltd
    Project Manager - Supply Chain
    Arcadia Group Ltd 2005 - 2006
    London, Gb
    During this period I worked on a number of initiatives to improve our supply chain operations. With my background in Home Shopping I became the key interface with our eCommerce joint venture Zoom . This division provided the original websites for the Arcadia group and other retailers. When the Group took full ownership I migrated them from their 3rd party warehouse to an in-house built solution in Arcadia's distribution centres. Following this I worked on other Warehouse projects including delivery scheduling and routing and a process to manage picking volumes/capacities ensuring the most profitable and key stock got priority in delivery to stores. During this period I also took over responsibility for the 2nd line application support team and lead a team of 4 handling issues across the various applications in the group.
  • Arcadia Group Ltd
    Senior Business Analyst - Supply Chain And Home Shopping
    Arcadia Group Ltd 2002 - 2005
    London, Gb
    After a management buyout of some of the Arcadia brands (Warehouse, Principles, Hawkshead, Racing Green) I worked on the supply chain demerger activities, supporting them first remaining on our platform but operating independently, and then in a move onto their own systems. Following this I led a number of disparate internal developments around price and currency management, Branch stock accounting and merchandising reporting.
  • Arcadia Group Ltd
    Business Analyst - Supply Chain And Home Shopping
    Arcadia Group Ltd 1998 - 2002
    London, Gb
    Having joined the group in Home Shopping IT team I had specific responsibility for analysis work on our catalogue business joint venture with Littlewoods working with their and our development teams to integrate the systems. At the same time the group acquired the Hawkshead and Racing Green brands and I was involved with the migration off their existing systems both in-store POS and head office merchandising and stock management systems. After Arcadia purchased the Sears Clothing brands including Warehouse and Miss Selfridge, I was part of the project team responsible for migrating them onto the relevant Arcadia platforms. This involved significant developments to cater for business processes/activities that did not exist in Arcadia. I worked both on warehouse system changes and implementation in their DC's, and then switched to the head office stream of garment purchase orders, Imports and merchandising reporting.
