The Hosts

Atlas Retail Constulants

Atlas Retail Consultants know retail.

When we started our consultancy in 1998, it was partly out of frustration. In senior positions working for a variety of retailers, we wanted sensible discussions about current retail issues, with like-minded people who understood exactly what our problems were. We wanted practical help to resolve the issues.

Unable to find a truly independent consultancy, we worked through the issues ourselves. As we learnt what to do or what not to do, we realised we could help others experiencing similar pain.

Since then we’ve worked for many pan-European retailers and global brands. We’ve helped them at all levels — from strategic board level right down to the detail day-to-day level. And as our impressive client list has grown, so have we.

It’s still essential to us that our consultants share our exacting independent standards and company ethos. That, combined with our understanding of the retail business inside and out, means that we understand your problems and, importantly, how to resolve them.

The Retailer

Founded in 1980, Mexx is a global lifestyle brand. They offer a range of fashion apparel and accessories for women, men and children, as well as non-apparel items.

Mexx products are available internationally via multiple business channels: wholesale, retail and home shopping. You’ll find their products at over 9,500 selling points in more than 45 countries on 4 continents.

Next week, Mexx are due to open their new UK flagship store on Oxford Street, London, which also launches their new retail concept. The timing is ideal to discover how Mexx has delivered its growth strategy over the last 10 years, and hear how the management team have dealt with the continual challenges this has presented, and perhaps more importantly, how these obstacles have been overcome.
