Visual Merchandising Course  - Testimonials

" Sarah made an invaluable contribution to the creation and delivery of our new visual merchandising courses. She spent time getting to know our business and understanding how her expertise could be made relevant and accessible to our people. The result has been a resounding success with all our delegates enjoying the course, whatever their own levels of experience or seniority. They have all gone away from the course inspired and immediately feeling creative. We have seen a really positive contribution to our business as a result; so much so that she is coming back for another series of courses next year! Thank you, Sarah."

Judy Roberts - Creative Director, Charlton House & Co

" Your help and expertise this year have been invaluable! You have helped the roll out of a vital project for our business this year to run a lot more smoothly and hit the units and our customers with much higher impact! There have been so many 'light bulb' moments for our teams and the difference that we are seeing right across the business is amazing... And more importantly we have a waiting list for the course next year which speaks for itself! Plus, it has been an absolute pleasure working with you! I look forward to more of the same next year!"

Josh Light - Learning & Development Manager, Charlton House & Co

" I found the course extremely informative and felt it covered everything expected and more. I also found the course hand-outs that Sarah provided useful as a learning aid, but I think it will be also most useful as a tool to look back on following the course.

As a result of the course I have already begun to introduce new merchandising into our concessions and have already begun to see the benefits from the course. I would not hesitate to recommend this course to people looking to improve their Visual Merchandising skills."

Olivia Dickinson - Topshop Concessions Manager and Visual Merchandiser, Marc b Handbags & Accessories

" Sarah's expertise and dedication to VM became very apparent after an initial meeting. From there she designed a course and handouts for our Triumph Motorcycles network of Motorcycle which was superb. It was great to see the candidates getting hands on with VM and learning so many techniques that they have taken back to their dealerships and implemented. It was a pleasure to work with Sarah and the dealer feedback was that they want more. I look forward to running more and more courses with Sarah in the future."

"...As an individual currently working in the industry, I found this course to be extremely beneficial as well as useful not only in a professional way, but also on a personal level. The confidence that this course has given me will surely push me to succeed further in my career.

This course is fantastic at teaching you the principles in display and the reasons behind them, which at the end will help you master and dress anything !..."

"... Using Sarah within her role as a freelance merchandiser and window dresser gives me much needed flexibility within my business. It allows me to bring in professional expertise when and where I need it, without having to increase my payroll significantly. It really is the way forward in my mind, when more and more businesses have to keep their costs to a minimum to maximise their profits ..."

" Sarah was great and it was really good to get an opinion as you can never tell if your display is any good if it's just you!

She was very positive and encouraging and had lots of handy tips and tools that made it a pleasure to work with her !

I would definitely recommend her for future shows."

"...Sarah has a positive and innovative approach to her design work. I had the privilege of utilising her retail skills to gather business intelligence for a corporate overseas client wishing to work with the main players in London. Sarah's client list is impressive and she was able to help us make the right decisions at the right time.

I have also worked with Sarah at Corporate Charity events and Business Networking Groups - her ideas are refreshing and always current!

Students attending her course will certainly gain the right experience. Her excellent skills cannot be conveyed by tutors/trainers who have not personally worked within the retail industry. Her students will definitely gain that vital edge necessary to succeed long term in display & visual merchandising..."
