I first joined Harvey Nichols as a sales consultant in the Men's Contemporary Department in the London's Knightsbridge store, but before too long was working as a Buying Administrator in the Head Office.

I have been promoted several times during my time with Harvey Nichols, moving from Buying to the Press & Marketing Department.  After working as a Press Assistant, lending clothes to key magazines and newspapers to promote Harvey Nichols and evaluating press coverage, I moved over to the newly created Publishing Team.

As Publishing Manager, I led a team of very creative people, publishing the quarterly Harvey Nichols magazine, as well as the monthly account card holders booklet and www.harveynichols.com

Now as Group Online Content and Publishing Manager I am responsible for all the editorial content on our website, customer emails, any printed customer material we produce as well as our social media.

Our award-winning website has an excellent reputation within the fashion and retail industries and I'm proud to be part of the creative process that lies behind that success.

I first joined Harvey Nichols as a Customer Accounts Assistant in the London Flagship store. Here I was given the opportunity to have a one to one direct contact with customers along with processing vat refunds for our overseas customers and overseeing any customer complaints or refunds. Opening accounts for our HN card holders and purchase of HN gift vouchers was also a main key point as part of my position.

Harvey Nichols ensures that employees are able to develop their skills in other areas that they are interested in, this was perfect for my progression within the Company. I therefore, applied for a vacancy at the Head Office for the position of an Accounts Payable Team Leader where I was able to develop my skills further at a more managerial level. From there I proved my abilities and took the step up to Accounts Payable Supervisor then Assistant Accounts Payable Manager.

My progression in the company has been one of my greatest achievements. This has given me the confidence and strength to encourage and motivate my team ensuring successful results are delivered and company goals are met.

Currently I am the Accounts Payable Manager appointed at the end of 2010 and have recently reached my 10 years service with the Company. My 10 years of service has been great and additional satisfaction is acquired by me being able to manage a very dynamic team who have supported me through out.

Harvey Nichols has provided me with an amazing opportunity to progress and achieve all that I have achieved within in the company. I am absolutely proud to be a part of the Harvey Nichols team and of course happy to take on any new challenges.
