Meet the Buyer, Sarah Edwards, Debenhams Cosmetics Senior Operations Manager:

  • Sarah joined Debenhams as a Personnel Manager after 10 years she found she had an interest for cosmetics, a role became available in head office to manage staffing budget and since then her role has evolved.
  • You have to be able to know what’s going on in store and be a good negotiator to do this job.
  • Team of 40 all working together to achieve the same goals.
  • Stores offer a fun environment, good brand standout, less is more, exclusive brands such as Make-up Forever, Too Faced, The Balm and Cargo.
  • Currently trialling different skin care brands in stores to be innovative and excite the cosmetic customers.
  • Sarah is excited about the Bagsy brand to be launched in the small premium brands area, if successful the brand will be considered to be made into a counter space.
  • Make- up is really strong and Sarah believes it is going to fly even more so. Debenhams brow bars are really important for their stores as they really engage and excite customers.
  • Make-up products definitely perform best at Debenhams, however fragrance is exciting with the new launches of Marc Jacobs, Decadence, BOSS THE SCENT, and Sauvage by Dior have been amazing.
  • Brands need to be innovative, they need to have the ‘wow factor’ as there simply isn’t the space to hold all the brands that come forward to Debenhams.
  • In Sarah’s role it has helped her to network with other key partners and competitors in the industry, it’s great to be able to share ideas and experiences.
