Underpinning the BMB Group’s business is its total command of the value chain. A mix of self skilled staff, extensive experience and strong partnerships ensure the company can enhance the chain at every stage. BMB adds value to the product from its inception to its sale on the shopfloor.
At the heart of the operation, is the buying and design department that acts as the guardian of the brands: distilling trend information, working with cloth houses, developing the look and the feel of the collections, and controlling the brand messages.
What gives their work extra impetus is the direct link the buyers have with retail and the sales data they gain from their own concessions. This allows them to react to the consumers’ needs, maximising sales and ensuring the brands remain strong on the shop floor. The brands’ performance is further enhanced by the opportunity the business has to back winners with extra stock and replenish rapidly; while recalls can be regrouped and despatched elsewhere in the groups portfolio, further protecting margins.
Sourcing decisions are made on a quality, price and reliability basis with suppliers working in clusters around the globe. The production and logistics process is managed from the business’s head offi ce backed up by a technical team that regularly visits manufacturers to ensure quality standards are maintained and to communicate developments in the business. BMB’s extensive retail experience means that it is always aware of how its brands are performing, and where it can add its weight to help businesses strenghten and develop.
