Trade Mark Collections are the leading supplier to UK retailers of licensed children's and students bags, umbrellas and related accessories.

I was a member of the Brands Department looking after both own buy brands, concessions and wholesale. Worked closely with the concessions buyer to develop my knowledge and select brands for the department. Looking after the critical path and using social media for inspiration for how to promote our brands and reach a larger target audience.

Whilst on the Hosiery, Nightwear and Swim team I was given the opportunity to but my own range of socks. My daily tasks were to look after the critical path, process and maintain all orders. Work closely with the buyer to develop my own sock range, and help select the aw15 nightwear range.

Whilst studying at the Fashion Retail Academy, I was given the opportunity to spend 3 weeks at Dorothy Perkins as a Buyers Admin Assistant on one of their biggest departments. This allowed to learn the daily tasks of a BAA and put what I had been learning at The FRA into Practise.

I was also able to obtain work experience at a Fabric Suppliers. This allowed me to experience the other side to Fashion Buying & see how suppliers deal with Fashion Buyers etc.
