I'm an experienced brand developer for shoes and clothing. I have successfully sold three businesses and am looking for a collaborator to develop my current brand FULLERTON. Fullerton works in Italy with small family factories where quality and design are important. After many years of making shoes all over the world for UK stores and brands as diverse as Wrangler and Jasper Conran, I decided to concentrate on the shoes Italian craftsmen continue to make with a real passion.

I started several brands, including Chatham Marine, which was the largest UK deck shoe brand selling shoes to over 600 retailers across Europe, and launched ideas like the world’s first washable deck shoes (loved by women, totally ignored by men).
