Summary
Before owning our Business Purchased in 2016, I lived Internationally with my Family in Japan for 7 years where I supported my Husband in his Career.
Prior to this i worked successfully in a managerial hospitality role.
I think I’m the perfect candidate for this job as I understand the consumer, my passion is upcycling older things and repurposing them to follow the latest trends.
My husband and I renovate homes and 90% of our furniture/homewares are thrifted, bought from Charity Shops or off Marketplace. I truly love the Joy of the hunt and would enjoy helping others find their treasures.
