CEO of A&E Clothing Poland

I have worked in the used clothing industry since 2014, and since 2019 I have run A&E Clothing Poland. The Polish company builds on the experience of A&E Clothing in the United States - a business that has sourced, sorted and wholesaled used clothing since 1996.

I am responsible for the operations of our Polish sorting facility, where we sort and prepare used clothing sourced on the American market for resale. In our work we draw on the many years of experience of the A&E Clothing team in New Jersey.

Day to day I focus on developing the company, selecting assortment for wholesale customers, and organising sales and exports. Working with importers and distributors from different countries lets me understand their expectations around quality, assortment and how shipments are prepared.

On the blog I share hands-on knowledge of the wholesale used clothing trade. I cover topics such as quality assessment, matching assortment to the needs of specific markets, and organising deliveries. I draw on the experience I have gained managing the sorting facility and working with wholesale buyers every day.
