My company has a number of branches to the tree, one of which is fashion. The online clothing brand looks to bring UK design, manufacture and supply to the forefront of fashion’s next adventure.

The strengths I bring is having worked in diverse range of sectors as well as fashion (Lacoste, Ted Baker etc through Pentland Brands). I bring the best of sectors such as FMCG, Automotive, Kitchens and Furniture and even the NHS! As an accredited Exec Coach and Mentor, and former agent, I have a great understanding of business challenges but more importantly how senior Execs and business owners can turn those into opportunities.

• What are your aspirations and plans for the future?: I will build a pioneering national fashion brand the UK holds up as a shining example on design, brand ethos and supply. More than buzzwords, both inclusivity and sustainability are woven throughout the core of the brand, doing the right things at the right times and treating/respecting our customers as individuals will set us apart.
• What types of projects are you interested in working on through Future Fashion Factory?: I am interested in getting involved in anything that coincides with the core research themes that I have highlighted as I think they are not only interesting to me but form part of the fashion industry’s imperatives in terms of innovation and evolution. I am passionate about diversity and inclusivity and sustainability in all its forms and would love to be involved in this.
