Bio
Darren Green
Helen is a dedicated Shopper Marketer with significant experience both client and agency side. I have known Helen for a number of years and worked alongside her both at Gratterpalm and latterly at Warburtons. Helen is great strategist, bringing analytical insight to brand and activity planning, but she also cares deeply about the people she manages and this is testament to the teams she has built and maintained in her career. She brings tenacious enthusiam and a smile to all aspects of her work and has been a pleasure to work alongside. Her focussed approach and ability to see both the big picture and minute detail woudl make her an asset to any organisation.
Kathryn Whiteley
Helen worked alongside me as my Category Manager for 2 years. During this time Helen built one of the stongest category relationships I have seen with the Customer (a top 4 major mult). She has a huge ability to absorb data and present it in a way that engages her audience. Helen built a number of reports and implemented category based solutions which allowed us to grow our range and share within the retailer. This delivered catergory outperformance for that retailer within our sector. She worked alongside the buying team at their merchandising centre to build ranges. Helen is a great communicator and an assett to any business she works in. I have no hesitation in recommending Helen.
