BA (Hons) Fashion Buying and Merchandising
My name is Luke and I am a merchandiser. The majority of my written work consists of spreadsheets so to sell myself and my ideas I always work hard to create fantastic presentations for which I have been commended by the likes of Per Una of Marks and Spencer and other industry professionals. I have spent the past two years gaining experience in the roles of buying and merchandising but found an affinity with the merchandising aspect as it allowed me to best demonstrate my skills as a logical thinker and organiser as well as developing my interests in a business and finance orientated career. My work has included building ranges and financial, marketing and sourcing plans for a large variety of fashion retailers which have all included visual presentations. I have worked closely with my classmates and had a first hand experience of the important relationship between both buyer and merchandiser and this has been invaluable to my university work. In terms of my career I would like to continue for one more year onto the top-up degree year in buying and merchandising and I hope to find myself working as soon as I can after graduation. I extremely excited and highly motivated to begin working in buying and merchandising as well as many different areas of the fashion industry. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile.
