Bio
Paul Bestford FCIPS
Matthew has been a fantastic support to the team here at Burberry. He gets the job done quickly, without fuss and to a high standard. He has received rave reviews from stakeholders across the business and will be sorely missed.
Laura Loader
I have had the pleasure of working with Matt for the last six months since joining Burberry. Matt is a very experienced Category Manager, passionate about his work and loved by his stakeholders. He is charming, pragmatic, comfortable with ambiguity, focused on delivery and also very fun to work with (excellent banter which our team will miss very much). I would strongly recommend Matt for any Indirect Category role and wish him the very best.
