Argos is a unique multi-channel retailer. Part of the same business as Sainsbury’s and Habitat, they are one of the biggest names on the high street. Still famed for their catalogue – and understandably so as around two-thirds of the UK population have one in their home at any time. But that reputation is changing fast. In recent years, they have expanded into Financial Services powered by Sainsbury’s Bank with the demand for innovation and digital transformation.

bpesearch were asked to bring in an interim Commercial Director to evolve the product offering, create further opportunities in the market and also drive customer engagement. Reporting to Katherine Carlson, this was a high profile and demanding role.
