I would like to know if you are interested in working with John Partridge Ltd. As the General Manager(Logistics and Strategy) of John Partridge Investment's i need an individual who is reliable, honest, dedicated, diligent and self motivated to work as our Book-keeper/Company Representative and assist us in processing payments from our customers and clients in the United States. John Partridge is a Limited Company Registered in England and Wales with company no. 4780042 and is registered at Montgomery Outdoor Ltd, 163 Parker Drive, Leicester, LE4 0JP. John Partridge Investments majors basically in fabric production, which is one of UK's upcoming clothing retailer. It has 5 UK stores selling clothing and household furnishings. It also has 2 company-owned stores abroad, mainly in the France and Hong Kong, and 5
> franchise stores in various countries. It accounts for almost 0.7% of UK clothing and footwear sales. Its food sales are almost as important as clothing but its share of the UK food market is smaller. Since the late 1990s its sales and profits have fallen, albeit with some recovery, and it has lost market share. At one time John Partridge Investments was renowned for its steady progress, and for being the UK's most profitable retailer. But it lost that standing. It gained a reputation for high prices, partly as a result of its policy of sourcing mainly within the UK. The stores became unattractive, the supply chain was inefficient, and the company was complacent. Discount clothing retailers gained ground, supermarkets became a major force in clothing retailing, and smaller chains offered more stylish clothing. John Partridge Investments also withdrew from most of its non-UK company-owned operations. The company acknowledges many of its problems.
> It sources 90% of its clothing from outside the UK. Also it is working to improve the supply chain and the stores, and to provide the clothing that its core customers want. One of John Partridge Investments strengths lies in lingerie, where it accounts for over a quarter of the UK market. Another lies in selling clothes for over 45 year old, although sales to the under 35's remain weak. The company's sales and pre-tax profits, at ?300,000 and ?155,000 respectively in 2005/06, are still substantial. But progress has been patchy during its recovery phase. Clothing sales fell in 2006/07 and the company continues to face stiff competition. You can view our website WWW.JohnPartridge..com for more information, however we deal with individuals, organizations, schools, non governmental organizations, alongside large and medium scale companies and supply customers in the United States I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSES ONLINE FOR FURTHER
