My background
Originally from Glasgow, I moved down to Manchester 20 years ago and had a pre Ecommerce career in Direct Marketing for various Financial Services companies. It was at one of these companies that, one day, my line manager asked the team who fancied managing this new website thing (at the time simply a standalone information site).
I volunteered and from then on saw the opportunity in this sector. I decided to move into Ecommerce and started managing customer acquisition campaigns for a few other banks and services companies before moving into Retail.
In 2007 I moved back to Manchester after a spell in London to work for NBrown group (Simply Be, Marisota etc) and had a fabulous 6 years helping the company grow it’s online business from 10% to 55% online penetration. Managing multiple UK and International websites, this as a great grounding in usng KPIs focused data to drive increase sales and revenue.
After 6 years, I wanted to take my experience of really trading websites successfully and apply that to small businesses which perhaps did not have the resource or skillsets. As Head of Ecommerce for 3 major UK retailers, I drove double digit revenue growth for all three.
In 2016 I set up Redleafdigital to specifically focus focus on helping SMEs with their Ecommerce and since then have worked with some prestigious UK businesses such as BAT, The Conran Shop and The Fragrance Store
