Profile
With over twenty years’ experience within the luxury fashion industry, I have worked
both in the United Kingdom and the USA, and trained in Paris whilst working at Yves
Saint Laurent. With considerable experience in buying, merchandising, stock control
and general running of a store, I have very good communication skills and I have the
ability to work unsupervised, or as part of a team. Most importantly, I have acquired
over a long period of time a considerable customer client base.
