Great training & development opportunities are the key to setting up Retail Buying & Merchandising teams & individuals on the path to success. I believe this to be the heart of all retailing, so it needs to be fit for the job. Who am I❓ 🔷My retail experience comes from 30 years of working in a variety of roles from the shop-floor to buying, retail support to training, giving me an in-depth knowledge of how retail works. 🔷As a certified Trainer I have had the pleasure to spend the last 15 years using my experience to design and deliver training courses & resources to support Buying & Merchandising teams, providing them with context and covering a wide range of systems and processes. 🔷I act as a Subject Matter Expert to support & develop new initiatives and processes to enable Buying and Merchandising teams to be more productive and efficient. 🔷As a Trainer I have created and delivered induction training to retail teams, embedding the foundation knowledge and skills they require to fulfill their new roles effectively and also providing coaching where needed to build confidence.
