Sarah has been working with us at Tower Bridge for more than three years. In that time she has delivered visual merchandising training to the retail team, provided advice and support through a major refurbishment and has worked with us each month to keep our displays and windows on trend and in season.
We find Sarah great to work with. She really understands who our customers are and how to make the most of our ranges. She is full of ideas for props and themes and adds huge value to our business by ensuring we remain focussed on achieving the best possible presentation standards.

” I have used Sarah for our window dressing at our boutique Opticians for a year now, and have found her to come up consistently with very imaginative and eye catching displays; great use of colour, form and texture that always gets positive comments from passers- by and clients. Pleasure to work with, and long may it continue!”

I decided to up my skill set and invest in a Visual Merchandising course run by Sarah Manning.

It was an outstanding three days. Sarah is a great teacher, generous with her time and very encouraging. I learned a lot from Sarah and my skills have been put to good use, even when styling my own home. Highly recommended and to Sarah I say a heartfelt thank you.

Tracey Beesley – The Lifestyle Concept

Ever since I met Sarah I can’t imagine my shop without the wonderful decorations in my window and on my shelves.
I have completed a course with Sarah and after that she has helped me with great ideas on new decorations and themes. Sarah is an outstanding professional and a great help for my business and `I would highly recommend her.
