It is with great enthusiasm that I apply for the Showroom Manager role, as advertised on CDI.

To this fantastic sounding role, I bring over 15 years’ experience encompassing Fashion Retail Management, Events Management, and Sales for both local and international fashion and furniture brands. Working with Giorgio Armani, Arthur Galan AG, and even Bresic Whitney Estate Agents, I have gained significant experience in both assisting and management of the implementation of marketing and sales strategies across brands internally and externally.

My career to date has enabled me to hone strong interpersonal and networking skills and a keen sense of brand awareness. Within Giorgio Armani, I closely collaborated with the PR Manager to expand the database and organize product launches and collection releases. At Arthur Galan AG I worked autonomously at management level, producing events, increasing brand recognition and sales revenue while promoting the designer, Arthur Galan. Both roles required utilizing contacts for cross-brand promotion including collaborations with cosmetics companies, caterers, stylists, publishers, and media personalities.

While at Bresic Whitney, as part of my sales role, I managed the highly administrative workload of the Company Director and sales team in a fast-paced environment, ensuring a seamless level of support and provision of quality service delivery. I also undertook copy-writing and utilized industry specific websites to effectively market properties for sale.

In my management positions, I have built strong, motivated teams priding themselves on exceptionally high standards of customer service, building fabulous rapport with new and existing clients and stakeholders while exceeding sales targets. While involved with CK Calvin Klein I balanced the highly administrative task of opening two new sites while adhering to stringent international branding guidelines.

My former role as Sales Manager for Hugo Boss encompassed providing strong team motivation, seamless client services, continual Policy and Procedure training coupled with change implementation and the constant production of high quality and detailed reports on a weekly and monthly basis.

I have also undertaken a Diploma of Business majoring in Public Relations; eagerly fine tuning my passion for communications, copywriting and branding. As a result of this, a previous position was with Adam Worling Public Relations as Media Logistics and Showroom Manager, imbuing me with valuable agency exposure and further account management experience.

In following my passion for all things people and design I secured all of my recent positions in the world of furniture and interiors, after approaching the companies directly, with CULT Design and Natuzzi Italia, premier importers of some of the most beautiful and prestigious furniture brands in the world, collaborating with and selling to Australia’s most reputable interior designers and architects as well as the general public. And now with RDC as an Interior Designer.

I am highly excited about the opportunity to contribute to the growth of your business, and to flourish in a premium brand company, uplifting and motivating my team whilst offering a superior client experience.

I have enclosed my resume and eagerly anticipate discussing this opportunity with you further.

With Kindest Regards,

Judson Bridges.
