Miss Smith.

Smith.


Okay this is my passion, retailing in any shape or form. I’m the woman who will notice the state of the toilets in a shop or if the tables are not cleared in a cafe quickly enough – retail is all about the detail.

I’m in my mid 40’s and I have always worked in retailing almost 100% fashion did a short but lucrative 12 months in furniture but shuffling tables and chairs around is not the same as merchandising fashion.

I met Jones at University we have remained friends through the years, on a personal level and also through work as we have worked on deals together with the various companies I have worked with.

I now work as a consultant to retailers so giving the benefit of my retail knowledge to mainly overseas brands looking to gain a foothold in the UK or increase their presence.

About Me

My photo
Chelsea / Richmond, London, United Kingdom
Two friends meet at university – both take different career paths but are united in one passion – Retailing.You could call them geeks from different ends of the retailing spectrum with Jones covering all aspects of property and Smith the management – he is the landlord to her hostess front of house. Jones is a divorcée living the single bachelor life in Richmond – close to the rugby and also all the bars and river. Worked in property covering the West End for many years – is well known in the industry and has a monthly breakfast with Giles Barrie who took over as editor at Property Week from his Chelsea sparring mate Tim Danaher when he moved on Retail Week. Smith is in retail management and has worked up from the shop floor – mainly fashion but once did a stint for a furniture retailer. Smith is a serial networker and is out most evenings, her Linked In is an A to Z of retail, often spotted with a drink in her hand on “off the Record in Draper’s” with her fashionista friends. Living in Chelsea keeps her in the hub of town as she is often just a black cab ride away.
