About Amanda

I enjoy helping organisations succeed with efficient and effective product delivery.

Having worked for small SMEs for over 20 years, my experience and competencies have stretched across the reach of business to ensure on time product delivery and a positive customer journey. With a primary focus on Product Management, I have also been heavily involved with retail, sourcing, sales, marketing and operational elements of day to day business and product delivery.

If you need assistance with product sourcing, compliance, creation of packaging and copy, sales presentations, processes, product set up or anything connected to product delivery I'm happy to help fill the expertise gap for you no matter how small or large the task. Able to work on a single product/small project, or whole range review with retailers and vendors globally. I can also visit current/potential vendors if this is required. I'm confident with value engineering and range rationalisation and pay the same close attention to a project no matter the size.


I have experience across multiple product categories: Hardware (screws & nails), Fixings, PPE, Health & Safety, Power Tools, Tiling Tools, Tiling Accessories, Waterproof Matting, Underfloor Heating, Metal Flooring Accessories, Flooring (LVT & Carpet Tiles), Flooring Tools, Flooring Accessories, Liquid Applications, FM/Cleaning Solutions, Insulation, Awareness/CPD Courses, Level 3 and Level 6 qualifications, Instructional design, Housing, Membership, promotional goods. Fully Adaptable to learning new categories at pace.

Key Achievements:
• Product launches - major UK retail accounts delivering additional £5M to annual t/o
• Range reviews - online, big box & mass market/large scale retailers
• Selection/Set up of Far East factored product portfolio for launch of European range
• Study Centre creation - OFQUAL regulated qualification delivery
• Identification & implementation of annual cost savings in excess of £0.5M (6% of annual t/o)
