L’Occitane London Flagship Store

I managed the end of design phase, build and store opening of the L’Occitane Flagship store, located on London's iconic Regent Street. This hybrid space showcased a collaboration between French luxury heavyweights L’Occitane en Provence and Pierre Hermé Paris.

  • Coordinating works of the Design Agency, Architect, General Contractors and Shopfitters

  • Mapping the construction planning stages and tracking progress

  • Organising handover and snagging

  • Managing budget and timeline, including variations and litigations

  • Interacting and working in tight collaboration with key stakeholders (Regent Street Association, Westminster Council, L’Occitane and Pierre Hermé Top Executives and Operational Teams).

Beyond my role as Project Manager, I also provided extra support to L’Occitane teams to alleviate for the lack of in-house expertise or resources.

“Hélène is flexible and hands-on if needed. She has a valuable network of experts and professionals around her to support her, and the project, if required. If a company solution or provider fails, she will activate her own contacts and solve the problem.”
