Russell Morrison

European Merchandiser

"I wanted to work at Claire's because of its diversity, in terms of products, customers and locations.”

“I joined Claire's as a Merchandiser two years ago, with Retail and Management qualifications and 14 years of retail expertise. I wanted to work at Claire's because of its diversity, in terms of products, customers and locations. Today, you’ll find Claire’s in 13 different countries across Europe.”

“Day-to-day, I keep an eye on how well Claire's products are selling and then act accordingly to determine their lifespan – whether that’s repeating a product or moving onto another key range. I work closely with colleagues in Buying to control budgets and suggest where costs can be reduced. My job's all about getting popular products at the right price, and then onto our shelves at the right time.”

“I believe I've been successful at Claire's because of my strong analytical and trading skills, and good commercial insight. I can also make difficult decisions with confidence and work productively under pressure. Claire's allows me to balance my work and home life, and I'm lucky enough to work in a great team, surrounded by a friendly atmosphere - especially on Monday mornings when we've achieved fantastic sales figures!”
