Warren Billett Email & Phone Number

Over the past 30 years I have predominantly worked in the retail industry holding various senior management and corporate roles with some of Australia's iconic national brands. This journey started with McDonald's, and has enabled me to work with Donut King, Michel's Patisserie, Brumby's bakery, Crust Gourmet Pizza, and Cookie Man amongst others. In more recent years I was significantly responsible for growing the Soul Origin brand, and also have worked with brands such as Westpac, Vodafone, Evolution Laser Clinics, Rashays restaurants, Guzman Y Gomez (GYG), Sandwich Chefs, and various independent retailers. I have also worked on a few projects for landlords in the last 16 months. Many colleagues are aware of my experience in negotiating leases on behalf of the retailer for securing the right sites, for the right brand, amongst Australia's major shopping centres. I have completed thousands of lease negotiations and have an extensive network of colleagues for who I hold a mutual respect.Equally, I have many years of experience within the specialised franchise industry and have held consultancy & senior corporate roles, including but not limited to strategy & budgeting, systems development, operations & training, franchisee recruitment, and future brand growth. I have been involved with the Franchise Council of Australia as a committee member for many years, and am cogniscent of the governing Code. Recently I have also developed new retail brand concepts from scratch, incorporating logo development, brand design, contributions to marketing material, and policies on operations systems.I am looking forward to using my vast expertise to work with a company that would value my overall skill-set in a leading role of responsibility.Warren.Areas of Experience:* Retail Leasing* Contract negotiations* Retail Property - Market knowledge* Growth & Development strategies* Site identification* General Management* Corporate representation * Franchise Industry practices* Systems development* Retail Operations development* Shopping Centre industry expertise* HR ManagementMb: 0420 319316
