I have over 20 years of commercial development, customer experience and placemaking experience within the retail, hospitality and leisure industries.
I have worked with, and advised multiple start-up, independent and SME businesses at a brand level over a range of functions, including Operations, Marketing and Performance Optimisation. Additionally, i have developed strategies for, and led teams within some of London&apos;s most admired and complex commercial environments at a landlord level, including Westfield Shopping Centre &amp; Transport for London (TfL).My learnings have come from the &quot;floor&quot; up. This has allowed me a comprehensive understanding of managing the intricacies within these industries, and the ability to really challenge and enhance opportunities for commercial and social gain.

In 2022 i founded Market &amp; Me.

Market &amp; Me was born out of a passion for the Retail, Hospitality &amp; Leisure industries and the brilliant businesses within it.
Its careful curation, built from years of experience of working with retail and leisure businesses to drive and enhance their potential, has ensured Market &amp; Me is different.Tired of seeing business owners miss-sold, over-promised, and under-delivered to, Market &amp; Me has community and collaboration at its core. By providing the tools, confidence &amp; relationships to connect, upskill and thrive, these owners are able to set themselves, and their communities up for long-term and sustainable success.
