Michelle worked closely with our team for just over a year, helping us to perfect our existing styles and develop new blocks from scratch. She was fantastic working both with lingerie produced in China, and woven nightwear produced in India. Michelle is personable, professional, easy going and detail-orientated. She understood the positioning and needs of our brand, and was quick and flexible in the periods in which we needed her support.

When it comes to knowledge and experience Michelle is your person. She has a friendly & professional manner engaging with customers & suppliers alike. She offers not only advice but suggestions that added quality & helped speed up processes. When I came into the Lingerie business, it was Michelle who helped and guided me and I will forever be grateful.

Having worked with Michelle for many years, her breadth of technical knowledge was the sound basis for her positive decision making. Combined with her exemplary professionalism, organised and efficient approach she always managed to provide and deliver the highest level of service to the Arcadia brand we worked for. She was always well respected by her colleagues, the teams she worked with and the supply base. I'd not hesitate to work with her again if the opportunity arose.

I worked with Michelle when I was the bra buyer for M&S, and she worked for a large supplier to M&S. She was always conscientious and had outstanding knowledge about garment make up, fit, patterns and quality. After that we worked together for over 5 years at Arcadia, where she was the Senior Technologist on the team. Michelle was clear in her instructions to the supply base and keen to help them achieve the fit and high quality standards we wanted them to achieve. I have no hesitation in recommending Michelle for any technical role.

Extremely talented and very experienced Lingerie and Garment Tech. I have worked alongside Michelle for a number of years as a Plus Size Model, she is absolutely amazing at what she does, turning an ill fitting, uncomfortable garment into a flattering piece that fits like a glove, not only is her experience of lingerie second to none, she was also amazing at turning a poor fitting armhole around in one set of comments.
