I'm one of the longest standing employees at Gallery, having worked with Peter Delaney and the team now for over 25 years. Thus, I have great knowledge of how the company works so that I can offer you the best possible personal service and advice, from our best sellers to advising on stunning floor displays, to improve sales.
It seems impossible to imagine that I have been with Gallery for many years; it's gone so fast. I truly do enjoy every aspect of my role. I have a genuine passion for what we sell and have established such an amazing and varied customer base, many of whom have become good friends.
I have over 20 years' experience working in field sales and am passionate about working closely with all my customers to help grow their business. When I'm not working I love spending time with my family and my dog Hilda! I love football and relaxing when I can…not forgetting hitting the shops for the odd new dress or two!
I have had a broad and varied career which has given me a wonderful breadth of experience & knowledge that helps me in my role at Gallery. I have worked with, and so understand the needs of, independents and national retailers alike, and have learnt how to adapt to the fast-moving changes in the retail sector, especially the growth and impact of the internet.
For the past 36 years, I’ve proudly represented Art Marketing, and I’m delighted to now continue that journey as part of the Gallery Direct team following our recent merger. I’ve always loved the products, the company, and—most importantly—our wonderful customers. With a background as a store buyer, I’m passionate about helping customers discover products that truly work for their business. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and indulging in a bit of retail therapy!
Over the past 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of representing the South West with Art Marketing, and I’m excited to now continue that journey as part of the Gallery Direct team following our recent merger. The most rewarding part of my role has always been meeting customers face-to-face. These personal interactions allow me to really understand their individual needs while sharing the retail insight I’ve built up over the years—especially within this region.
With over 40 years in sales, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of Scotland’s most prominent and innovative retailers. Now, as part of the Gallery Direct team following the merger with Art Marketing, I’m excited to continue supporting our Scottish customers, with a far broader range of products. My passion for the region’s retail industry is rooted in building strong, lasting relationships, whether I’m working with major department stores or small rural farm shops.
I managed our family business until August 2000. I then became a self-employed agent in January 2001 and began working with Frank Hudson in September 2003. In 2014, Gallery Direct bought Frank Hudson and so I became an agent for Gallery, selling their entire portfolio. Having such a fantastic, wide range of products enables me to offer a wonderful choice to my customers.
