About me

A little about me...

I am a courteous and professional individual who enjoys working well with others.

I am extremely passionate about creating innovative and commercial products. Keeping a close eye on the newest sources of trends and knowledge of best and worst sellers is vital in doing this.

With respect and trust I have built strong relationships with key buyers throughout my career.

I have a multi product background with a specialism in Knitwear, over the last 8 years I have built the Mens & Boys Knitwear department up to the successful multi customer based department it is today.

Covering core best selling large programmes through to smaller one off trend pieces.

I started my career in Childrenswear where I lived and worked in Nanjing China , working in a sample room where I would oversee all elements of the sampling process. Since then I have travelled to factories in Northern China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Turkey and the UK covering Childrens, Mens & Ladieswear.

On a personal note...

I am a Mummy to my 2 children Theodore 6 and Pearl 3.

I am a fitness enthusiast I do regular workouts from home and enjoy running and with family bike rides at weekends.

I love the outdoors and enjoy learning about nature and wildlife.

Another passion of mine is Interior design and Illustration, I enjoy hand drawn Illustration. During Covid- 19 lockdown I have been working on my Illustrations - all aimed at Children's bedroom/ interiors.

Thanks

Nicola
