Full Retail Consultancy

Professional sports club retailing can provide an important revenue stream to the wider commercial business, whilst bridging the demand of your local community and global consumer base with engaging merchandise product collections. Building a successful merchandising operation relies upon hiring a team of suitably experienced staff across back-office functions, stores and warehousing. Leading this team to drive business growth, whilst delivering against strategic and measurable KPI’s takes an experienced head. Our team of consultants are on-hand to deliver operational leadership and direction for your retail business, working within agreed budgets and strategies, without the full-time equivalent (FTE) overheads of a senior leader within your organisation.

Operational Leadership

Our consultants will provide strategic and operation leadership and direction that your retail business requires. We will work with your existing retail team, or help you to structure a team of new hires to cover the demands of your business.

Recruitment

As well as providing the senior leadership you require for your business, we will assist you to recruit the best talent for your organisation across any retail positions identified.

Training & Development

The ultimate aim for our role within your business should be to train and develop an in-house team to eventually take on the responsibility for the business unit. We will build a long-term plan with you to deliver this structural development program.

Strategy Development

Our senior consultants will work with your business to develop the overall retail strategy. We will identify the key pillars, most important to your business goals and the strategies which will support us to reach these alongside you.

Business Review

Ahead of building the new retail strategy for your business, we will work with you to carry out a full review of the incumbent retail business unit. The findings of this review will be presented back to the senior leadership team and will form the basis of our 'starting point'.

Financial Forecasting

Our consultants will work to identify merchandising revenue forecasts. We will be able to assist you to set key budgets around both direct and indirect costs to the retail business P&L. Once established, these will set the budget constraints for our consultancy leadership.

P&L Management

We will work closely with your CFO/CEO to manage all aspects of the retail P&L in line with the agreed budgets and forecasts. Our team will share regular update performance reviews with your leadership team and provide insight to the retail business unit performance.

Business Development

Working with your team, we will aim to manage the business unit as though it were our own. Our experienced consultants will look to continually find new opportunites to improve revenues, operations and processes to drive continuous development.
