Conrad Hunneman, MD of Nisbets Continental Europe

At Nisbets we’re on an exciting journey, with lots of growth opportunities. I really enjoy being able to play my part. We have great people working here, people that want to make a difference and to make Nisbets become customers’ first choice by helping them to do great things. During my job interview, I met a few of the leadership team and they made me feel part of the Nisbets family even before I officially started. That’s when I realised that this was a great company to join and I was right.

Meet some of our people

Nicola Ransome, Senior Group Category Manager

After moving out of London and leaving the fashion industry, I was looking for something to match my skills. Nisbets were looking for a Clothing and Footwear Buyer, which seemed fairly suitable. Since I joined, the commercial team’s changed a lot, but there’s always been a real sense of teamwork. In buying it’s really important to have a strong and supportive team to get the job done. Nisbets is an ambitious company that’s constantly changing, so there are always challenges. You never know what will happen next and you learn something new every day.
