I traveled extensively to source samples; attended Fairs to determine style, yarn and colour trends; briefed designers and was responsible for the appropriate range building strategies to meet the customers varied requirements. We started with 1 customer in the first season and grew our base to 4 chains in 5 years. Ranges offered covered diverse requirements, depending on each store’s customer base. We supplied knitwear from competitive value price points to top of the range exclusive prices. Styling varied from young and trendy styles at the leading edge of fashion to contemporary lines for the classic customer. Worked closely with Yarn suppliers to develop yarns specific for customer and fashion needs, which saw us leading the market in innovative design.
