My expertise is in the customer journey, product management, supplier relationships, trading strategies and project management.

Testimonial

“Kim has been great at helping me organise all the 101 things I thought I should be doing to get my sewing business started. She listened to me rambling on and then came back with everything and more in a super-organised and accessible format! I can now concentrate on each aspect in the knowledge that I am going in the right direction.”

Case Study: A new shop

K Hulse Consulting project-managed the launch of an exciting new independent retail shop. Services included securing target brands; negotiating terms with suppliers; recommending product ranges; developing trading strategies for each product group; creating web content for static pages and collating data to drive faceted navigation for product pages. Prior to the store opening, marketing campaigns were supported and we helped build relationships with local community groups and businesses.

Testimonial

I thought all the advice you gave me was of great use and helped me a lot. It allowed me to see the bigger picture and also get a fresh view of the situation. The notes from our meeting, additional information and outline of a plan of action are a great addition to our meeting and gratefully received.”
