What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead apparel sourcing, production, and supply-chain operations where I can strengthen supplier performance, improve margins, and deliver reliable UK and EU production.

I lead apparel sourcing, production planning, and merchandising from London, coordinating factory execution across Morocco for UK and EU fashion clients.

At Global Leic LTD, I manage hybrid sourcing, capacity forecasting, critical paths, WIP, supplier onboarding, factory audits, and compliance readiness across knitwear, woven, and denim.

Previously at Global Production Textile, I coordinated end-to-end production for brands including BoohooMAN, PrettyLittleThing, and Reserved, delivering 120,000+ garments monthly with 100% on-time shipment. I improved approval rates by 20% and increased profitability by up to 25% through pricing, cost control, and sourcing optimisation.

My background also includes luxury swimwear production at Glam, where I maintained 98% on-time delivery and reduced material waste by 15%. I work fluently in English and French, speak native Arabic, and bring hands-on experience across North Africa and European supply chains.
