Anthony Fletorides
Chief Merchandise Officer, Tourvest Duty Free
Anthony Fletorides began his career in the retail sector in South Africa, having worked for 21 years for two of the largest retailers in Southern Africa and the southern hemisphere, namely Woolworths and Edcon.
He has extensive experience in planning, buying, international sourcing and supply chain management, priding himself in building sound relationships with suppliers of both product and services.
Since joining Tourvest Duty Free in January 2008, Anthony and his buying, merchandise and replenishments teams have worked with the retailer’s suppliers to enhance the product offering and improve the supply chain. Some products and brands have been removed whilst others have been extended. Through Anthony’s guidance, TDF has expanded its ranges with key suppliers who have an extensive product offering and service, which has proved successful for the company across product, advertising and delivery performance.
The TDF operation mirror-images fashion retailers with regard to product execution, focusing on delivering what the customer wants.
