My background is Product Development in the fashion industry supplying major retailers in the UK and USA.
After leaving Courtaulds in 2006 I have worked as a consultant to Treasure Step Hong Kong supplying niche clients in Europe where I was able to develop and work with just about anything made with cashmere and other knitwear products.
After completing my MBA where I specialised in International Retailing ,I continued my Consultancy work with UK clients and also began Lecturing.
I am currently working on several new projects which link academic and industry based work in the field of supply chain , product development and the fashion business

I have just published my first academic book title-Concept to Customer-Basics of Fashion Management -its available now and is also just available in Spanish-Merchandising De Moda.
