Background

About Billy Elliott

I am a hard worker who is ambitious, creative, and reactive in the ever changing fashion industry. I was previously the Store Manager at Footpatrol’s London branch; I moved to London to search for new opportunities and adventures within my professional career, as well as enhancing my already developed fashion and retail industry knowledge and experience. I worked at Size? Cardiff a subsidiary of the JD Sports Fashion PLC for 7 years showing my loyalty and dedication to my job, personal development, and the fashion industry. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fashion Marketing Management where I worked on constant time scales completing modules such as- Creativity and Entrepreneurship - Strategic Brand Management - Merchandising and Visualisation - International and Global Marketing - Integrated Marketing Communications - Mobile and Social Marketing - Dissertation on 'The Influence of Black Culture on Fashion'. I have also completed a marketing internship at Footpatrol in London where I undertook tasks such as- Critical Overview of the Internal Cogs of the Business - Inspiration and Aesthetics of Marketing - SWOT Analysis of the needs, desires, and behaviours of the Footpatrol Consumer - Trend Analysis and Reports - Sketch to Shelf process for a product My personal goal is to continue to develop and progress within my professional career, in the fashion industry preferably within the marketing field but I am also open to more creative/design roles as I am currently undertaking courses personally within the realm of design and creative direction. Buying and merchandising are also areas of interest for myself as I am very comfortable with numbers. The hope once finding a role within the fashion industry would be to work my way up through the employment ladder within a successful thriving business and eventually run a team as a manager within it to lead the team, business and myself to succeed in future endeavours.
