With independent retailers struggling to start up new businesses, Sarah Walls and Jill Whitehead decided to launch Range Consulting.
The retail consultancy company offers everything from up-to-date information on trends, key looks, and range planning to advice on sales/stock forecasting and profit management. Range Consulting wants to offer experience for smaller businesses, without the financial implications of employing that expertise.
The two women met while heading up a Buying and Merchandising team at? Richards nine years ago and have experience in businesses as diverse as Top?Shop, Laura Ashley, Signet jewellery and Blazer menswear. “Retail is a tough business to be in at the moment," said Sarah. “We have over 30 years experience between us; we have a lot to offer to a struggling business or one who wants make sure it isn't struggling when up ?against strong competition." |
