I help businesses improve profitability. Thirty years of global buying experience means I understand the buyer’s perspective and how to redefine sales streams accordingly. My industry knowledge will show you how to approach clients with insider knowledge – ensuring you’re always one step ahead.
Areas of ExpertiseWell-versed in global buying, I have 30 years of experience in leading and supporting teams, launching new concepts, building brands and training employees.
Workshops & Training
Understanding how your customer – your buyer – thinks is key to achieving retail success. My expansive experience in this area will show you and your teams how to think differently. Together we’ll delve into new skills and techniques that will result in a real impact on final profit. All my training sessions are designed specifically with your buyer, and therefore your business, in mind.
Leading Teams
With substantial, successful experience managing global buying teams, I will help you understand how to do the same – whether your team is large or small, in-house or remote, global or local. We’ll examine how to engage teams, develop understanding, and change strategy to deliver significant sales growth.
I have been instrumental in supporting business to deliver an average growth of 30% per year during my time as Global Head of Category.
Launching New Concepts
Having a passion for innovation and newness I have led various projects to create new store concepts either from initial idea or from an existing brand but with a new exposure.
Innovation is a passion which has led me to successfully develop concepts in fun and interesting ways. Take, for example, the ‘pop-up stores’ I initiated at airports for Pandora and Bvlgari – both were a successful new way of selling. My background in both retail and buying operations will help you understand the best products for retail, and the mechanics required for successful trading.
Building Brands
Maintaining growth is important for any brand. To do this you need to understand the buyer’s requirements and interests in order to implement impactful strategies. Let me show you the best routes to achieve this for your brand, allowing you to increase customer numbers via development solutions designed to increase profit. From strategic buying to improved distribution – together we will achieve enhanced sales results.

One of the most productive professionals ever
Moyra worked for us for a number of years and was one of the most productive and professional people that we ever had working with us. Moyra’s skill sets and all round industry knowledge were invaluable to the business. I would highly recommend Moyra if not for any other reason than the fact that she is just a great person.
