A recent interview I did for BIPC Newcastle as part of their High Street Heros Instagram series and my top piece of advice...

The best piece of business advice I’ve been given is ‘you do you’. As someone without formal training in the industry, I suffered terribly with imposter syndrome & sometimes still do. This year has been the most challenging year of my life but I try to remember that as long as I’m doing ‘me’ I’m trying my best for both myself & the business.

Can you imagine working in Finale and being surrounded by shoes and handbags all day long then having to watch people try them on and look fabulous in them! It is always one of the questions we are asked most often - how do you choose what to have for yourselves each season and what to wear to work?

Who do we buy our shoes from?

No, this is not a trick question - obviously mum and I and everyone who works for us get their shoes from Finale! But where does Finale get its shoes from?

We buy from a variety of different brands, this is important to us because it means we have a wide range and lots of choice for you; our customers.

A new stock system and a new website for the Finale team in 2018.  There was lots to learn but it means a better service for our customers and a better website so it's a great result.
