Independent Retail Consultants

As trusted partners for our clients, we curate brands for them led by insight and data

Meet the food export specialists behind the brand.

Our combined passion for the retail industry merged together to form Curatyx, with a little specialty focus brought into the mix by each of our founders. With our pooled forces, we have been able to inject a unique, full-service offering into the retail industry, helping manufacturers and retailers develop beyond their current scope.

These are the independent retail consultants behind the ideas and innovation. Just friends doing what they do best.

Curator #1

Meet Paul

Paul is a senior retail executive with extensive board level experience in running multiple aspects of a large-scale, multi-channel retail operation.

Over many years, he has developed a deep understanding of consumer behaviour and how to manage and grow the relationship between brands and consumers through all stages of the customer journey. This understanding is driven by pioneering the use of industry leading digital data insights and tools powered by the Nectar database – the largest customer database in Europe.

Paul’s comprehensive experience of all aspects of financial management, including mergers and acquisitions, puts these consumer and retail insights to good use for the benefit of our clients. His passion is connecting organisations end-to-end so that they can work as one team to serve customers.
