Nowhere are technological and consumer change more keenly felt than in retail. Operating across a wide spectrum of activities and disciplines, psd’s retail and consumer recruitment specialists are at the leading edge of this transformation.

From hypermarket to boutique, global to local, bricks-and-mortar to digital, the world of retail is being reshaped as never before. Arguably recruiting the best people has never been more important.
As e-commerce assumes ever-greater importance, so physical retail demands new skills and capabilities to elevate customer experience and maximise dwell-time. psd works at boardroom, senior management, and operational leadership levels with leading retail companies and property operators in the UK and internationally.
With decades of management recruitment experience in areas such as premium retail, fashion and luxury lifestyle, psd has diversified its offer to encompass convenience retail, logistics, distribution & fulfilment, as well as online stores – working with retail enterprises of all sizes to help them create efficient, agile, competitive organisations.
psd‘s matrix structure and deep sector-specific expertise enables us to recruit from a huge range of industries, skill-sets and geographies. In particular, our expertise in recruiting for hospitality industries is highly valued by businesses seeking new approaches to the experiential aspects of retail. It’s a unique perspective that’s ideally suited to the fast, fluid and innovative businesses redefining the retail environment today and for the future.
