Foley Retail Consulting
His 36 years in the retail business taught him discipline, teamwork and leadership at the highest level. This combination of skills and experience, as well as a deep understanding of the dynamics of the retail business, formed his personal mantra, and later Foley Retail Consulting’s mission statement:
Management must add value to their business every day!
“The recent financial pressures and the relentless pace of competition mean no single retailer can afford to stand still. To fail to develop your business is to accept defeat from competitors”
