Jayne has had an extensive career in charity retail so brings vast experience, knowledge and determination to bring about positive change for the consultancy’s clients.
Her first role was with Oxfam as one of their earliest shop managers, running a traditional shop, a vegetarian café and a charity supermarket before managing a district of 11 shops raising £1m per year.
She then worked with The Children’s Society for 8 years as a Retail Operations Manager, then Head of Retail for 90 shops across the country.
Jayne joined Save The Children UK in 2005 and as Head of Retail was responsible for the staff team, its 3,600 volunteers and 125 charity shops. For 2 years she also headed up the UK Community Fundraising operation, maximising the opportunities between CF and Retail as locally led fundraising operations.
Jayne created and led a relationship with Mary Portas, resulting in a BBC series “Mary – Queen of Charity Shops”, the roll-out of a new shop fit, a pop-up shop generating £100K profit in 3 weeks and a permanent charity relationship with Mary. Mary’s Living & Giving shops remain a significant part of Save The Children’s retail operation today.
