About Blackburn Consultancy
My Story
Blackburn Consultancy was born from over 20 years at the sharp end of retail and brand partnerships. My journey started in the family retail business, where I cut my teeth on everything from buying across categories to running staff training programs, building merchandising plans and chasing down the next big product at trade shows. Dinner-table talk was always about retail - the wins, the challenges, the tricky customers - and I loved being part of something that mattered.
But I Was Curious. I Wanted More...
So, I took the leap, packed my bags and moved South into England, knowing no one. What followed was a whirlwind decade across the UK, where I became known as “the fixer.” Brands and retailers alike trusted me to ask the questions no one else would and to navigate the hard conversations that lead to growth.
From housewares to coffee machines, from OLED TVs to major domestic appliances, I’ve worked with some of the biggest names in retail and tech — including global electronics leaders, luxury brands and even celebrity chef-backed products. Along the way, I’ve also worked internationally at trade events, hosted seminars and collaborated with some of the best in the business - from influencers shaping today’s markets to household names everyone recognises.
But here’s the thing: whether you’re a global powerhouse or a challenger brand, everyone wants the same thing — the inside scoop on how others do it.
That’s exactly why I started Blackburn Consultancy. To give retailers and brands a partner who brings deep industry know-how, hard-won experience and an honest voice that cuts through the noise.
Think of it as your own “Retail Voice”— all under one roof.
