1. Can you describe your company and the service you provide? C&L is a luxury goods broker where buyers can pick up “style steals” and sellers can offload their designer collections hassle free and earn good money for their pieces. Our site emulates the best online fashion boutiques, our fees are low, buying is pleasurable and great value, and the whole process is simple and straightforward for all
2. How did your journey begin? Coming from an entrepreneurial family, I always had the ambition to launch my own business. When I looked for a service such as C&L to offload my own designer collection at the start of 2011, it became clear that there was a gap in the market and I knew then that this was the opportunity I had been waiting for. I left my role as Commercial Director of Motorsport Magazine and the rest is history.
3. What has been your biggest achievement so far?
Getting the site launched in time was certainly tough, so many small problems arose and it became a real battle day to day but I’m delighted we came through and we’re now firmly on the ascent.
4. Where do you see Champagne and Lemonade in 5 years? We will have evolved to work closely with the design houses and we will also have created a multimedia brand, with far greater editorial content, a network for our clients and events.
