Fran has now taken on the responsibility of the day to day running of the Fox Valley store and will be supported by Louise Fernehough-Hinchliffe, Head of Fragrance at Sandersons who has been promoted to Assistant Store Manager. Louise has built up years of retail experience managing major beauty brands including Clinique and Clarins.

At Sandersons’ Morpeth store, Lucy Bowden has been appointed to the Store Manager role after starting as the Assistant Manager when the store opened in October 2020. Lucy joined the Sandersons team from popular heritage brand Barbour and brings a wealth of experience in Retail Marketing and Management.

The Board of Directors at Sandersons have a strong ethos of promoting from within, investing time in nurturing their team and providing expert training to offer prosperous career growth paths within the company.  

Managing Director of Sandersons, Lisa Fox said: “We are all extremely proud of Fran, Lucy, Louise and Angela who have proved to be fantastic assets to the company, particularly during what has been a really difficult time for department store retailers.
