Jamie Martin says: “We’re excited to have Ashley on board and he joins at an incredible time for our business. 2020 was the biggest trading year in our company’s history as we successfully navigated the challenges of the pandemic and we’re now focused on driving forward ambitious growth plans. A key part of our strategy is adopting a more digitally-centric approach to ensure we thrive in an increasingly on-demand, online world. With his commercial, digital-first and consumer-led mindset Ashley is the ideal person to lead this and we’re sure he’ll be an integral part of our future success.”

Our customers are also very vocal; they want to continually engage with our brands and when it comes to Create and Craft, they’re extremely passionate about their hobby. And ISD isn’t just a retailer, it’s also entertainment. It’s a very unique and interesting business to be a part of.
