 BSc Textile Chemistry

A highly experienced product technologist in both manufacturing and retail. I am looking to return to the supply and manufacturing side to drive product development, sourcing and quality at a senior level. A comprehensive knowledge of procurement, fabric and quality across homeware and clothing has ensured delivery of competitively priced, superior quality products as diverse as fashion, bed linen, duvets, towels, rugs and bathroom accessories. Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to deliver premium products with commercial viability and design integrity as an integral player in the buying team. An acknowledged textile expert but with a comprehensive understanding of many technically diverse industries and the ability to balance the conflicting requirements of our customer’s quality standards, the daily pressures of high street retail and the production demands of large suppliers worldwide. I have travelled extensively to gain first hand knowledge of the global supply base with a wide network of contacts both in the global supply base and with industry experts
