Background

About Phil Mitchell

Recently worked with 2Squared Agency to manage the branded design & production team. As a subsidiary of JD sports plc. I was working to ensure ethics and sustainability targets are achieved and maintained. A circular life cycle for products and their bi-products is another key focus within the business I am looking to establish. As a consultant for 2Squared my role included business development, both nationally and internationally along with the brand management of Creative Recreation. The task included the design and building of footwear and apparel, sourcing the supply chain all within license and JD sports guide lines. The selling and distribution model of the brand was also included within the role. My background includes founding The Cuckoo's Nest Ltd in September 2010 along with Anticulture Clothing and Cuckoos Nest both brands becoming established brands trading across 17 countries. Established a European network of wholesale agents and retail stores. Working closely with them to build a branded platform from which to sell our products. Previous to this I was the sourcing manager for Uk retailer FootAsylum and was responsible for establishing direct relationships with foreign and domestic suppliers for its own brand development. For 10 years before FootAsylum, I was a supply chain agent working with various brands and manufacturing facilities to develop & supply denim, jersey and woven products.
