Working with QA and Buying on updating fit and pushing innovation in fabric and silhouette, with an added focus on being sustainable too.

Modernisation and design of product ranges in line with key competitors, driving improved net sales performance and gains in market share.

Delivering key items of the season with conviction, and being accountable for this key area of the womenswear range.

Ensuring harmonisation of trends across all products within Jersey and Leisure.
