Jaclyn McGuire
‘I have always been passionate about fashion, whether it is high end luxury brands, pret a porter, fragrances and cosmetics, leather, jewellery and watches. I am constantly researching and learning about new brands, on and off line, travelling extensively and looking in all shops from bazaars to boutiques. I feel closely attached to all fashion and am always excited to find new products and help link them to the market. It gives me enormous pride and satisfaction to see products that we have found appear in global inflight magazines or in leading duty free stores.
It’s an exciting and vibrant market, where travellers are looking to be entertained and find something unique – that is the adventure of travel. Our role is to help create the right product and introduce the right brands to keep that excitement and adventure going and turn it into success for retailer, brand and consumer, whilst offering advice and supporting the business relationships with Stuart and the team.’
