Leanne B. is a Buying, Procurement Specialist at Hampshire County Council. Colleagues describe her as "During university I had to undergo a Buying & Merchandising project where I was first introduced to Leanne as the Menswear Buyer at New Look. She gave me a great insight into the buying industry, showing great knowledge, passion and patience with mine and other students questions. Leanne saw my drive and eagerness to pursue a career in buying and offered me a placement at New Look on her team! During my time at New Look I learnt so much from Leanne- managing the full buying cycle, comp shops, what it takes to build a profitable range, how to present in trade etc. It was great to see Leanne in action at work she is a very humble, driven and enthusiastic buyer but most importantly a great manager because she made learning a fun and memorable experience! Leanne has become a great mentor and still remains to be a dominant role model in my life for advice in my career.
