We know a thing or two about retail…
Proven success with small and large brands
Sparc Retail was set-up in 2022 after its founder, Andrew Rayner, oversaw the successful Trade Sale (Exit) of toiletries brand Childs Farm at a £40m valuation. He had joined Childs Farm as Head of Sales in 2015 and turned the toiletries brand into the 9th fastest growing business in the UK (Sunday Times Fast-track 100 2019).
Prior to this, Andrew was a Commercial Director at Procter & Gamble managing the commercial success of brands worth up to £450m. Working there for 9 years since completing a degree in Engineering and Business Management.
Helping turn your products into a business
Having lived and breathed FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) for the last 16 years across Health & Beauty, Household and Food brands, Andrew is now committed to helping more consumer brands to succeed in the retail market.
With a genuine passion for this industry plus the hands-on experience of launching, growing and ‘Exiting’ brands, Sparc Retail is the perfect partner to get your products on shelf and into consumer’s hands.
“There is no business in the world like Fast Moving Consumer Goods - everything you work for comes down to individual consumers making a choice to buy your products. Every changing element of macro-economics, technology and sustainability is played out in retail stores across the world every second of every day.
You can never stand still, and that’s what makes it fun.”
