* Management Consultant from February 2006My permanent career was centred on the management of large scale fashion clothing & footwear buying offices within major PLC retail organisations.Extensive expertise of direct sourcing markets has been gained from over 20 years product development experience with manufacturers in South East Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa & Europe.I have detailed knowledge of UK & European Direct Catalogue and E-commerce based trading channels gained through the management of buying, trading & merchandising processes within the Remote Shopping sector.My independent interim, consultancy, non-executive and personal business career has exposed me to all scales of business from PLC’s & SME’s to VC & Private Investor backed Start-Ups.A broad range of Interim & Consultancy assignments have emphasised the requirement for precise strategic and objective driven management. Freelance projects have focused on process definition & trading strategies for new e-commerce fast fashion trading platforms, licensed designer brand product development programmes, strategic review of fashion trading structures, proprietary brand portfolio management and celebrity licensing & product endorsement.Experience of the particular demands of small business start ups and the management of venture capital & private investor interests has been gained through my non-executive and personal directorships in the Plus Market/AIM and private limited company environments. These businesses focused on sports brand licensing and the development & licensing of patent & Intellectual Property rights in a new textile technology. Setting up the platform to develop & deliver an innovative new technology to market has presented specific challenges associated with risk management for both investors and prospective trading partners.Specialties: Senior level skills in strategic planning, team management & mentoring, own brand product development, international sourcing, range build architecture, customer & market dynamics and change management processes, developed within mass market UK High Street Retail and Remote Shopping PLC’s.

The USP of subsequent knit, woven or non-woven fabrics is that their breathability increases with high levels of humidity or wetness in the micro-climate (facilitating the release of moisture) or decreases in low level humidity or dry conditions (improving insulation). The technology works in combination with natural wools or cottons or synthetic based materials. We have termed this “the pine cone effect”.The Directors confirmed the successful development of fibres & yarns that exhibit the required functionality on Friday, 23rd February, 2012. MMT are currently progressing an extensive programme of knit, woven and non-woven textile development. Further details will be announced shortly via MMT's new website inotektextiles.comCheck out the following links for information on our current development status (with thanks to Billy Hunter of innovationintextiles.com & Tara Hounslea of wtin.com for their continued support)http://ei.wtin.com/article/NMDvoAkdWxQ/2013/02/07/focus_new_fibre-based_moisture-management_technology/http://www.innovationintextiles.com/inotek-adaptive-moisture-management-fibre-technology/.
