Expert Support for Fashion Buying and Category Growth

With 25+ years in global buying and design, I partner with companies to optimise categories, streamline processes, and develop the next generation of buying talent.

Corporate Consulting

Strategic guidance that drives commercial results

When margins shrink, launches slip, or categories stall, the problem usually isn’t effort — it’s the lack of structured support and commercial clarity. With 25+ years in both design and buying, I partner with leadership to review performance, optimise categories, and strengthen processes. Along the way, I equip teams with the tools and confidence they need to deliver results consistently.

Focus areas include:·

Category growth strategy·
Commercial process optimisation·

Team Training

Commercial Skills That Benefit your whole team

When fashion buying and merchandising teams don’t share the same level of commercial confidence, it slows everything down. I design tailored fashion buyer training programmes and online fashion courses that build skills across every level, supporting career in fashion progression for your entire team. This means junior staff grow faster, mid-level buyers are prepared for leadership, and senior buyers have the support to mentor effectively.

Focus areas include:

Fundamentals for new and junior buyers
Advanced commercial skills for mid-level buyers
Leadership development for senior buyers
Cross-functional collaboration and communication
