It’s already a month since Leonie Barrie, Just Style’s editor for over 20 years wrote her leaving letter for Just Style’s readers.
As I am now a full 30 days into the role, I wanted to officially say ‘hello’ to all of you and tell you a little bit about myself.
Go deeper with GlobalData
I should start by explaining you probably won’t recognise my name as I am completely new to the apparel and textile supply chain sector. I am however, extremely eager to learn more about this vibrant industry, meet those of you working within it (Covid-19 permitting) and do my very best to give you the insights and information you need as and when you need it.
I am a fully-qualified journalist and editor and I have written for a number of related sectors, including retail and beauty. Prior to taking the role of managing editor at Just Style I was the editor of the UK’s leading hairdressing sector publication called Hairdressers Journal International.
Despite being completely new to the sector, I have worked for Just Style’s parent company, which is called Global Data, before. In fact, I started my journalism career at the company as a young junior web writer and then deputy editor, coming up with ideas for some of the company’s other titles such as Packaging Gateway and Pharmaceutical Technology.
My passion lies in communicating and sharing insights with others. I love nothing more than getting under the skin of the big issues facing those working within an industry and discovering what will make readers lives easier by speaking to the experts who are already one step ahead of the curve.
