Lauren Sharpe

Since beginning my career at Matalan I have been eager to progress. Becoming a Team Manager has provided me with the opportunity to become a respected leader who is efficient in driving results from her team. I am also a manger who values interpersonal skills above all else. I am proud to be a trusted figure within the management team.

Stepping up into a more senior position has also allowed me to refine my merchandising skills. I now have a wider knowledge of merchandising as well as interpreting BI reports and the best ways in which to display our product for maximum yield.

I have been employed at Matalan since September of 2020 when I began working as a general sales assistant.

I have also worked as a merchandiser across all departments.

During my time as a student at The University of Leeds I learned to be a researcher, critic, journalist and creative writer.

Working as a waitress provided me with valuable experience of working in a fast paced environment.
