About Retail100
It is very rare that four people with a combined buying and merchandising knowledge from working for a major retail group come together to offer their 100 years of experience to both suppliers and retail buyers to aid them in their working practices.
Turning traditional consulting on its head by working collaboratively with clients, together they will work to drive sustainable and profitable growth for the brands that they engage with.
The ‘Major that all four worked with for so many years was John Lewis and their belief is that there is a better way to do business by forming a bespoke solution to fit the client’s business needs.
They are:
- Elaine Hooper – Senior Buyer
- Anna Berry – Head of Buying Home
- Neil Amer – Senior Merchandiser
- Sara Allbright – Senior Buyer
During their work with John Lewis just some of the categories that they covered were sports, toys, gifts, homeware, tableware, glassware, Cookshop, seasonal & beauty.
– in fact most categories across Home.
Their knowledge of buying and merchandising is proving to be of huge help to both the supplier and retailer.
With a hands-on approach their aim is to provide professional guidance to clients both large and small.
They realise that one size does not fit all and that every solution is hand-crafted and uniquely tailored to each different case.
Retail100 are able to cover business planning, assortment review, sourcing, customer, brand, on-line and sustainability.
This also includes private label product development, licensing, critical path management and innovation.
They are already working with a number of clients and would welcome hearing from interested parties.
