Experience

The Spanish Boot Company

• United Kingdom
• Retail Apparel and Fashion
• 1 - 100 Employee

• Proprietor

  • Oct 2002 - Present

  I import and retail, mainly online, a collection of Spanish leather boots, for equestrian and country pursuits as well as for fashion. I have expanded into stocking a range of tweed by Liberty Freedom and other accessories. I also supply the boots on a wholesale basis to a few stockists around UK and overseas.As with running your own business I oversee a multitude of tasks outsourcing some of these! Personally I deal with the day-to-day administration, dealing with customer enquiries as well as what ever else materialises. Logistics is an integral part of the business so is top of the agenda! I also oversee and implement our marketing strategy including social media, email newsletters and I do much of the design work where possible.I manage my stock inventory, liaising with Spain in a buying capacity. The website is maintained with new lines, photographic content...
