In an astute move signalling its commitment to strategic growth and market dominance, Luxe Collective, the eminent preloved luxury goods platform, has announced the appointment of Andy Hamilton as the organisation’s first Chief Trade Officer (CTO). This decision underscores Luxe Collective’s ambition to enhance its footprint in the luxury resale market and to refine its trade and e-commerce operations.
Hamilton is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Luxe Collective by orchestrating the development of its trade and digital commerce strategies. He will be collaborating closely with a team of distinguished executives, including CEO Ben Gallagher, CPO Joe Gallagher, and COO Oliver Millar, to drive the company’s expansion efforts.
With a distinguished career spanning over 14 years at Adidas, where he held various leadership positions, Hamilton most recently occupied the role of Director of Sales Development. His tenure at Adidas is marked by significant contributions to sales strategy and development, positioning him as a valuable asset to Luxe Collective. Following his departure from Adidas in 2021, Hamilton transitioned into a consulting role, further broadening his expertise in trade and commerce.
Hamilton’s decision to join Luxe Collective comes at a critical juncture for the retailer, which is on the cusp of significant growth. The company has recently solidified its expansion plans through a notable investment secured on the entrepreneurial platform, Dragons’ Den.
The appointment of Hamilton is a testament to Luxe Collective’s ascendancy in the luxury resale sector. The company has recently inaugurated a new 10,000-square-foot office space in Burscough and has expanded its team to 30 members, reflecting its trajectory from a burgeoning startup to a scalable, mid-sized enterprise.
Reflecting on his new role, Hamilton expressed his admiration for Luxe Collective’s dynamic growth and its transition into a scalable organisation. He emphasised his commitment to contributing his seasoned expertise and leadership to the company’s evolving needs.
Ben Gallagher, co-founder of Luxe Collective, reflected on the significance of Hamilton’s appointment, highlighting the remarkable journey from the company’s humble beginnings to attracting industry-leading talent. Gallagher, along with his brother Joe, launched Luxe Collective in 2018, and the company has since experienced exponential growth.
Luxe Collective is poised to leverage Hamilton’s extensive experience and strategic insights to further propel the brand’s presence in the luxury resale market, heralding a new era of success and innovation for the company.
