John Stanley, MSc, NDH, ADH
John has been in retailing all his life. John grew up above his father’s pharmacy shop in the UK. He has a Master of Science from Essex University.
In 1976 John won the Nuffield and Fruiterers Scholarship to study marketing in the USA. It was on that study tour that John became aware there was a need for someone who could interpret broad international trends to help businesses worldwide adapt to changing economic and political situations. By focusing and capitalising on the opportunities that change presents, John has ensured his clients expand their markets and grow their organisations.
John’s retail experience covers hands-on retailing in supermarkets, hardware stores, garden centres, farmers markets and drug stores. He has the uncanny ability to assimilate international political, economic and consumer lifestyle trends, translate the macro to create
appropriate strategies relevant to the local conditions and culture of his clients. This skill maximises the opportunities for his clients that changing environments present.
John’s retail talent is obvious in his best selling retail management books Just About Everything a Retail Manager Needs to Know and Think FOR Your Customer, his latest release Setting Up Shop is proving popular.
John Stanley’s winning ideas in consultancy and charismatic presentations are reflected in the huge successes achieved by his many globally diverse clients. John is now one of the most sought-after conference speakers and retail consultants on the planet.
