A leading fashion brand sought a senior buyer with elite category management skills, trend awareness, and commercial focus. The role demanded a strong supplier network and a strategic approach to maximise profitability, strengthen market positioning, and curate compelling, commercially successful collections aligned with sustainability and long-term brand vision.

We held in-depth consultations to refine the brand’s buying direction, then leveraged our high-level network to identify top talent. Competency interviews focused on supplier influence, trend strategy, and commercial results. Three strong candidates were presented. The successful hire was onboarded swiftly, enhancing both buying performance and supplier partnerships.
