Prior to joining Natural Trade Brokers, I worked for a marketing firm spending a lot of time in stores with demos and  sampling, I found that I really enjoyed being in the health food stores, so when the opportunity arose to join Natural Trade Brokers, I jumped at it.

I started in retail at the age of ten, working ('playing') in my dad’s newsagents. I've been an interior designer, a furniture restorer and owned a jewellery business, returning to retail in 2010.  I have  a great deal of experience in merchandising, maximising displays, and helping her retailers to get the most out of every deal.

I have been in and around the natural products trade for nearly 30 years.
 I started working for Booker Health Foods in the mid 1980’s. I left the industry for a few years but was lured back in 1996 and have stayed ever since.
I love the variety it brings and how much it has changed over the years. It is great to see how the stores have changed and developed with the times.
 When I am not working I enjoy running and keeping fit. I enjoy travelling,  since the boys have grown up and have their own families, Janet and I have spread our wings and visited places such as Tunisia, Morocco, Mexico and various Greek Islands.

Nutritional Support & Social Media
From my first day in a health food shop as temporary Christmas staff to now, I have enjoyed virtually  every moment of my 40 years in this industry. 
I have been lucky to have so many roles, from sales assistant to store manager, from trainer to being involved in product formulation and development working with some of the major brands in the industry.  
I have worked with Tom Moses for the last 20 years. It is never dull, there is always something new and exciting on the horizon with Natural Trade Brokers. I love being involved with the social media for the company and it is really exciting to see so many retailers getting on board with it to promote their businesses.
